            D'OH!
           A DEER
 -----------------------------
 "The deer was lying there
  dead for three to four
  weeks," said Mayor Keith
  Billig of Bowmanstown, Pa.
  Yet, road crews repaving
  Route 895 paved right over
  it, leaving a large lump in
  the road surface. At first,
  Pennsylvania Department of
  Transportation engineer
  Walter Bortree blamed it on
  a private paving contractor,
  but then admitted a state
  crew was to blame. He
  suggested the crew just
  didn't see the deer, but
  Mayor Billig disputes that.
  "You can't miss it," he
  said. "It's in a
  straightaway. If they
  couldn't see it, then they
  can't see the numbers on
  their checks either." The
  oil-soaked carcass was
  removed after nearly two
  weeks of outcry by area
  residents. (AP)
