When I was at school I had a substitute physics teacher who told us of the time she hit a deer. It was her way of making Newton's laws that little bit more interesting.
She stopped, examined her car (which had suffered minimal damage as the incident occured prior to the invention of crumple-zones) then strapped the animal to the roof of the vehicle and had venison that weekend!
Well, you've got to make the best of a bad situation!
