OK. The “Hunt Hut”? I’d assume that’s a shop selling hunting supplies. Hunting supply shops sell doe-in-estrus urine for just this purpose. It attracts bucks and makes them come close enough to shoot them. I don’t know if any hunter puts it directly on his head, but maybe on his jacket. I just don’t see where the joke is. It’s like: Man walks into hardware store, says “I need something to pound nails.” Clerk hands him a hammer. “Here, try this.” Man says “Wow, what is this thing anyway?” and hits himself hard on the head with it. Clerk says, “A hammer.” Or maybe to make it into a pun the man hits his fingernail really hard with the hammer.
If B.C. or whichever caveman that is doesn’t know about doe urine, he’s not a deer hunter and not likely to go to the Hunt Hut in the first place.
Was there a follow-up the next day where he goes out and suddenly a dozen bucks surround him, and he bends over to pick up something on the sidewalk and …

I love poop and pee jokes; you can’t beat the basics.

Clearly a regional variation — the one I learned was

Birdie, birdie in the air
Why’d you do that in my hair
Lucky elephants don’t fly
Or they’d do it in my eye

Birdie, birdie in the sky,
Drop some whitewash in my eye.
I’m a big boy, I don’t cry –
I’m just glad that cows don’t fly.

Something my big brother taught me when we were kids.

Hunters really do use doe urine to attract deer, but no one who has a functioning nose would pour it on themself! It’s concentrated and it stinks. My question is - how do they collect it?

I thought B.C. said dog urine at first. Not that doe urine is much better…

I still think that Dumbo should have been able to crack the glass, even using the “bird attack” method. He certainly would have done much more damage if the cartoonist had him “hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway” (bonus points for anyone who can identify the quote).

@ Mitch4 (10) - As I recall, the official name for the traffic bumps in California was “Botts Dots”, but we used to refer to them as “drunk funnels”, for the people who would “drive by Braille”.

The bottom one reminds me of the advice–ask relevant questions BEFORE using something.

As teenagers, my crowd used to refer to the small hemispherical concrete traffic bumps as “elephant turds”. Pretty much as though that were just the almost-official term, and without much consciousness that it might be considered impolite language. Like: “You used to be able to park on the verge here, but now they’ve put elephant turds all along the block.”
