If he is so tough, he would lave shellacked those fuzzy little critters long ago. Still, he shies away from a duel with the deer.

Luca Brazzi the deer. Perhaps I ramble because I hit a deer with my Ford Bronco while taking my friend, let’s call him Orenthal, through the “woods” in order to escape the “deer,” or Los Angeles Police Department.
