The Rabbit

   A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping
   across the middle of the road.  He swerved to avoid hitting the
   rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car
   and was hit.  The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an
   animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out
   to see what had become of the rabbit.

   Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead.  The driver felt so awful he
   began to cry.  A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on
   the side of the road and pulled over.  She stepped out of her car and
   asked the man what was wrong.

   "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidently hit this rabbit and
   killed it."

   The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She
   went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can.  She walked over
   to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto
   the rabbit. Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved
   its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 metres away
   the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped
   down the road another  50 metres, turned, waved, and hopped another
   50 metres.

   The man was astonished.  He couldn't figure out what substance could
   be in the woman's spray can!  He ran over to the woman and demanded,
   " What was in your spray can?  What did you spray onto that rabbit?"

   The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label.
   It said:
   "'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."
