I don't find the opening post particularly humorous, but I do find it ironic!
One of my greatest fears is the dog runs out in front of a car and the car takes out the cyclist (me) to miss the dog!
Humor is the little black fur ball who was trying to tear down the tree he was chained in order to attack us on a recent ride.
Or the boxer I clipped because he cut me off and forced me to vear off untill I had to correct.
