I committed Rabbit-cide once.
I was driving through the country on a narrow road when I hit a rabbit.... poor little thing was decapitated. Trouble was.... the head landed on the front of my bonnnet FACING ME and slowly.... still staring at me.... slide all the length of the bonnet til it caught against the windscreen right in front of me.... bleeding.
I had to drive with it like that for about another five km's until I could pull off the road. (Did I mention that all that time I had three other girlfriends in the car screaming and screaming.) Luckily when I pulled over so did a car following me.... I guess the doors flying open, four girls leaping out and screaming and one throwing up kind of gave them a hint all was not well. The guy in the car got the head off for me and washed most of the blood off.
