One of my funniest involved a large German Sheperd on a farm near here. Our cycle club would always pass this farmhouse on Thursday evening, going up the hill where it was so we were always going slow and always out of breath since this was near the end of our outing. The dog would come from under the porch, cross the road and go down the line of bikers raising heck with each one. He was accustomed to swinging pumps and water squirts, so that didn't help. The only thing he was not used to doing was looking both ways before coming across the road to attack us, which proved to be his downfall his last time, since he ran right smack in front of a logging semi that was coming down the hill from the opposite direction. Splat right there in front of 15 of us. We named that part of the ride "dead dog hill" after that!
Yeah that is really funny. I always find death funny.
