A caller named Donna mistakenly believes deer crossing signs are for deer and not drivers. Her laughable comments go viral. But the caller, only identified as Donna, didn't seem to understand that such signs aren't for deer to be told where they can cross
— but rather for drivers to see it's an area rampant with the woodland creatures.
"It seems to me that it's so irresponsible of us to allow these deer crossings to be in an area where these deer are so likely to be struck by oncoming traffic," she said. "Wouldn't you agree?"
The show's hosts found it hard to interject seriously, realizing just how dimwitted Donna was acting.
"The government can direct the deer population anywhere they want to," she added. "All they have to do is move that deer crossing sign."
The caller even earned a nickname: Donna the Deer Lady.
In a follow-up call with Y94 on Wednesday, Donna thanked the station's hosts for being understanding and said she felt "incredibly stupid" after realizing her mistake.
"I mean honestly, in my defense, I had no clue these signs were for us [humans]," she said. "I never really thought about it enough to realize I was kind of being ridiculous."...nydailynews.
