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 accidentally 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 yards away the rabbit stopped,
turned
around, waved and hopped down the road, another 50 yards, turned, waved and
hopped another 50 yards.
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 asked, "What is
in your spray can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"
The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label.
It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."
