Hare Restorer

I was on my way to Lodge one evening when we drove into some very thick fog. We slowed right down, following the white lines that ran down the centre of the road.

All of a sudden we felt a heavy bump.

I stopped the car and reversed back a couple of yards. There in the headlights lay a hare, spread-eagled and flat! I was terribly upset. My companion reached over into the back seat, grabbed a plastic carrier bag and leapt out of the car. He went up to the hare, pressed his head close and then took a can out of the bag, shook it three times, pointed it at the hare and got back into the car.

Within seconds the hare twitched, staggered to its feet and hobbled off four or five steps, turned its head, looked back and raised its right paw! It carried on doing this until it reached the edge of the beam from my headlights and disappeared. I was amazed I can tell you.

"Did you see that?" I asked my friend. "What ever did you do to it?" "Its just unbelievable - I know it was dead by the weight of the bump!" "Maybe, but I knew I'd got just the thing", replied my friend, "I remembered that in the carrier bag there was a can of hair restorer with a permanent wave that I bought for the wife today. I forgot to give it to her!"
