Deuces Wild?
When you've been cycling for as long as I have, you think you've seen everything. But this weekend I saw something I have never seen before.
I was riding in a rural section of Florida and saw something in the road of which I wasn't quite sure, but appeared to be drawing a lot of attention from flies. When I got close I saw what is: a turd about a foot long.
It was neatly laid out in a line. I rode away but of course couldn't help thinking about it. Ok, who does this? Who decides this is the place to lay a turd, drops trou, and squeezes one out in a nice straight line? I suppose you had to walk slightly to do this, who thinks to do this?
Anyway, discuss other odd things found in or by the road, if you like.

A few weeks ago, I was riding out in the boonies and saw something sticking straight-up in the road - on the yellow line. When I got closer, I saw it was a raccoon that was as flat as a pancake, but whose tail was pointing straight to the sky. Kinda like a cartoon. Not as good as your story though.

Thinking more about things I found by the side of the road, I once found a box of tools. I rode home, drove my car back, picked them up, and tried to determine ownership. When I couldn't determine that, I put an ad in the paper (an attorney friend's advice). No one claimed them, and I still have the tools and still use them. Just a lot of wrenches, some chisels, and a ratchet set.
One time on an MS ride, I saw a 2-foot long dead gator. It even had its arm across its chest, like it expired with a drama-filled fury.

There are some signs that just beg to be ignored.

This morning on the way in from the bike path into midtown, I saw a guy leaning over his bike. Homeless looking guy. I thought I'd be friendly and ask if he needed help with his bike. As I got closer, I saw that he wasn't fixing a flat, he was puking all over the side of the path. I just kept going.
(No, it didn't appear to be any medical emergency, just a guy having trouble keeping down his liquid breakfast.)

So I went back and picked up the tools and moved the materials out of the lane.
I almost felt bad about it at first, but then figured that I had done everything I could to let him know he dropped them so I stopped feeling bad. They were some pretty decent tools, most of which I could use since I'm in construction too, saws tapes levels and other construction stuff.
I know he got wherever he was going, noticed his crap was gone, went back looking for it, found the materials and figured out exactly what I was trying to tell him.
