Ever hit a bird with your car? 

A co-worker and I were hanging out fairly regularly one summer.  More
often than not, when driving to her house, I would hit a bird with my car.
It was the strangest damn thing.  Just driving along, and bam! -- a cloud
of feathers in the rear-view mirror. 

Another time, while driving home from her house late at night, a rabbit
hit my car.  Yes, the rabbit hit the car.  In the mirror, I could see it
bounce several times.  The rabbit appeared to be unharmed, aside from
being dead.  Moments later, a policeman stopped me.  I had a difficult
time explaining why I had a dead rabbit in a box.  I wanted to give the
unfortunate creature a dignified disposal.

I never killed or harmed an animal before or since that summer when Laura
and I were hanging out.
