The rare talking moose

Overheard by "ears" at a restaurant . . .

Burly dude: A moose and her calf ran out in front of my truck. I slammed on the brakes and missed the cow but the calf froze and I could hear him crying. His mom was screaming at him: "Get up! Get up!" I leaned over my dash but he was just as high as my bumper so I couldn't see him. Finally he got up and ran into the bush with his mom and I thought, "Thank f--k."
