My dad was traveling down a Pennsylvania highway when he came across a construction zone (imagine that construction in PA!). He noticed a state trooper in his rear view mirror so he slowed down to the 45MPH speed limit in the zone.

Near the end of the construction area, he noticed a large black object flying towards his vehicle. He felt a slight bump and saw in his mirror that a large bird (possibly a turkey or crow) had hit him and was bounced right into the windshield of the state trooper.

The trooper immediately turned on his light and pulled my dad over. The trooper asked if my dad was hurt in anyway. My dad replied that he was OK and questioned the trooper about his condition. He replied, "I am OK, but I am going to have to give you a ticket."

My dad got upset and wanted to know why.

The trooper answered, "For flipping me the bird!"
