ROAD-HAZARDS WOODCHUCKS AND PAULS: 03/31/05

Nuclear Dan kicks SlingShot's ass again—previously only in biking, now in writing the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. Here's the same situation as
Descent Du Paul, but a
slightly more realistic take on it.
| If you ride a bicycle long enough, sooner or
later you are going to have a crash. Some crashes are worse than
others, and the strangest things can cause them.
Last year I crashed when I ran over a woodchuck. This
year I crashed when I ran over a Paul. These crashes may seem
similar, but the truth is they are very different. Here is a
comparison.
1) Facial Expression before impact
| The Woodchuck: |
Shit eat’n grin [He new he was
taking me out.] |
| The Paul: |
Remember the lady showering in
the movie “Psycho”? |
2) Impact Factor
| The Woodchuck: |
Sturdy And
Muscular, over quickly like hitting a speed bump. |
| The Paul: |
Soft And Cushy,
long climb up the mid section then a fast downhill afterwards.
[Like riding in sand.] |
3) Reaction after impact
| The Woodchuck: |
Brush it off and
run away [laughing] |
| The Paul: |
“Looking for the
bunny” |
I sustained worse injuries in the woodchuck crash. You can learn
from my experience. If you encounter a woodchuck and a Paul lying
side by side in the middle of the road, and you are forced to make a
split second decision, run over the Paul. It’ll hurt less.
