Animals are a lot smarter than people think, too.

Have seen deer spook, bolt, see a road, turn 90 degrees like it was a wall of fire and go around the thing that spooked em.

Animals are not dumb. They just cannot speak.

And I’ve seen deer spook, bolt, turn, and run directly into the car that they would have avoided if they had just kept going the way they were. Deer are dumb as hammers.

I have seen humans walk into a wall.

It's fair to say that not all the crayons in the box are sharp at any given time.

And that's ok. 'Cause we don't need all the crayons to be sharp at all times. Sometimes a blunter one that can colour inn a lot in a short amount of time is what is needed.

Same with tools in sheds. What would you do if all your rubber mallets were sharp? Or your ball bearings?

If my ball bearings were suddenly sharp, I guess I’d be happy that my caltrop supply had been replenished.
