Oh Deer, Not These Puns Again! COTD

Jason and his cars seem to have a strenuous relationship with deer. Back in 2015, Jason rearranged a Scion xB’s face via deer. Another deer (or maybe the same one, I don’t know) decided to enact revenge by getting into a boxing match with Jason’s Nissan Pao. Now, the Pao’s punched a deer again!

The damage doesn’t look too bad this time, but the poor Pao is probably frustrated with these animal encounters. Oh, and don’t forget that time its poor wheel basically fell off thanks to a part failure. Don’t worry, Jason’s Pao is not alone. Remember that Toyota Prius my wife had? My friend was driving it down a dark country road when a deer tried playing Frogger. Unfortunately, she broadsided the creature, which meant quite a lot of damage. The deer took out the left side including the headlight, a part of the hood, the fender, and both doors. It was bad enough that the driver door no longer opened from the outside. Progressive has since written the poor car off. Oof.

I think this image from years ago is very appropriate:

Anyway, the deer should obviously be absolved of all wrongdoing. I mean, Jason was driving on the wrong side of the car:

Look at it from the deer’s perspective: it looks at the Pao, sees no one in the driver’s seat (on the correct left side) and therefore assumes the car must not be moving. Perfectly safe to cross in front of.

Of course, Autopians love any opportunity to drop some puns:

Oh deer.

StillNotATony

I bet you expect us to fawn all over you for this pun.

Doe-n’t start a big chain of puns, please. Can’t we buck that trend for once?

NewBalanceExtraWide

It can sometimes be fun, doe.

Drew

I’ve herd people who make too many puns end up perpetually going stag to parties.

Canopysaurus

That’s bucked up.

Perfection, have a great evening, everyone!
