Back in the day, when I was teaching, I overheard a conversation between 2 of my students. It went something like:

Student 1: "Well, the way to hunt deer is to drive 'em. When you see one, you shoot at it. The first shot wakes 'em up. The second shot gets 'em running. Then you can start really shooting at 'em."

Student 2: "Uh huh."

I asked the 2 lads what would be wrong with killing the deer in question with a single, well aimed shot. They just looked at me.

I'd have given a lot to have been able to eavesdrop on the conversation that night at the supper table between the boys and their dads.
