Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 21, 2017

Armadillos are either three banded or nine banded. So Wiley has created an entirely new type of armadillo.

Don’t forget to honk your horn.

He draws them like he wants to.

In the case of Wiley’s new species of armadillo I believe it is Drawinism in action, rather than Darwinism.

Around here it’s skunks and raccoons.

And that brings up a lawyer joke

What’s the difference between a dead lawyer on the road and a dead skunk on the rood? There are skid marks before the skunk

For the human population control theory, see Wiley bears.

Road kill. Them’s good eatin’. :D

Cats seem to do just the same thing.

@strictures: Wiley didn’t invent a new species. That’s the species that was left after the others had been wiped out over the years :)

Squirrels are better than armadillos. If you miss them, they will reverse course and run back so you can get them with the rear tires. I will brake for just about any animal but not squirrels, they do little or no damage to the car, and there is no sense in slamming on my brakes and causing an accident.

@TRIPWIRE45: Yea, I wouldn’t do that these days. We used to hunt and cook up ‘dillos in west Texas back in the day but now they carry a form of leprosy. On another note, now with the frost line moving north (I know, “no such thing as global warming”) they’re showing up as roadkill up here in east-central Kansas now. There won’t be too years before they show up in Chicago.

I’m usually a live and let live person, but years in South Florida taught me to hate those lawn destroying,armored rats !

Would that it was that easy to control their pestilent population.

My pet peeve are geese!!! It’s illegal to kill them, but I try my best to scare them to death!

The armadillos will make it across the road in five seconds, flat.

armadillos are possum on the half shell

Bill Gates is behind the whole thing.

We used to move a lot when I was growing up, and my mother said she’d identify where we lived by the most prevalent species of roadkill. Mississippi was the Armadillo.

There is a book about Middle-of-the Road politics. “Where yellow stripes and dead Armadillos are”.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?A: To show the armadillo it could be done.

Here we have cute l’il hedgehogs as traffic victims; but they have much better press than armadillos, so folks generally STOP! and let them cross the road.

I think it may also end up as a population control theory for truck drivers if the driver flinches.
