A hedgehog was sitting nervously by the side of a road when he was spotted by two rabbits who happened to be passing. On enquiry they discovered that he was somewhat afraid of crossing the road but needed to get to the other side to meet his friend the chicken who had already completed this manouevre. No problem said the rabbits who did this sort of thing all the time. All you have to do is wait until you see a car coming, walk out into the road and sit down. As the car approaches line yourself up in the centre of the headlights and duck. The car will then pass right over you and you can move on your way repeating the procedure as necessary. The rabbit, although still somewhat nervous, could see the logic in this and decided to give it a try. He walked out into the road in front of a car, sat down, lined himself up between the headlights and ducked.

There was a loud squishing and splatting noise.

One rabbit turned to the other with a look of horror and said

"Oooh! You don't see many Robin Reliants about these days".
