Crossin’ The Drive-Thru Late Last Night

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
(Louden Wainwright III, Dead Skunk(In the Middle of the Road))

Apparently things get a bit slow in Cedar Rapids, Iowa every now and then. People have to make up their own excitement. This time of year, it can be difficult to find cows to tip, so what's a thrill-seeking Midwesterner to do?

Toss a dead cat through the window at a McDonald's drive-thru, obviously.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - An employee working the drive-through window at a McDonald's will have a tale to tell. When the worker went to the open window thinking the car pulling up had already ordered, the people in the car threw a dead cat through the window, police said.

Cedar Rapids Animal Control officer Matt McAtee said the black domestic shorthair appeared to have been dead for a while.

"It looked like somebody had picked it up off the road," McAtee said.

The excitement happened around 8:45pm. Police are investigating. I didn't know making a late delivery was illegal.
