Deer Underground
Wheaton, Maryland got an unpleasant surprise today. A deer showed up on their local metro railway system tracks. What's the big deal, you say? Well, the tracks in question are underground.
WHEATON, Md. — A deer that wandered onto Metro's underground tracks in the Wheaton area caused some delays on the Red Line.
Metro trains came to a stop for a time Sunday morning when the deer was discovered between the Forest Glen and Glenmont stations.
A spokeswoman for the transit agency said the deer frightened some passengers by coming onto the Metro platforms several times.
Why is this important? Simple. The truth is inescapable: deer have learned to tunnel.

Learned to tunnel, snort! That’s rediculous! That deer had a ticket AND textbooks under his foreleg- headed for the University of Maryland, College Park campus. Jesus, some people!
