seagull hit my car!

thekewl1 · 09-14-2006, 11:16 AM

Driving home from work yesterday on the phone and suddenly I hear a loud 'THUMP' right next to me on the driver side. All I see is a bunch of feathers. Looked in the rear view and it was a seagull!

Flew right into my driver side mirror and folded it in. Luckily there was no damage to the car or the seagull. I was in downtown LA, so what are the chances of that happening? Just have to

when i think about it.

When I was growing up my father told me how to cook a seagull.

Take a large pot of water, a seagull, and a brick.
Put the seagull and the brick into the water and bring to a boil.
Boil it until you can stick a fork into the brick.
Remove seagull and brick.
Throw the seagull away and eat the brick; it will taste better.

was using the hands free BT, so I wasn't distracted. I had the right of way though, that damn seagull should've yielded.

He was trying to get a closer look, leave the bird alone, his depth perception was a little off!?!

i was driving southbound on 405 one time with my old trooper and the cars before me were dodging a seagull. and the seagull was flying right in front of me afterwards for a few seconds.

and last week i saw a dog's head on the freeway with blood all over the road northboud of 405. that was so gross. poor dog.

must have jumped out of the owner's vehicle.
