I didn't mean to hit the rabbit

I was driving down Montgomery Road the other day, on my way to Wilkins Corners and I swerved to avoid hitting a rabbit, but I missed and hit the rabbit as it jumped in front of my car.

I am an animal lover, so I pulled over to the side of Montgomery Road and got out to see if I could help the rabbit.

But, unfortunately, the rabbit was beyond help.

I felt badly and was kneeling there staring at the dead rabbit, when a car pulled over and stopped.

A woman got out and said, "What's wrong?" she asked as she stepped out of her car.

I told her, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." She went to the trunk of her car, and pulled out a spray can.

She then sprayed the contents of the can onto the limp rabbit.

Miraculously the rabbit came to life, jumped up, hopped down the road, and turned as if to wave at us.

When he got about 50 feet away the rabbit stopped, turned, waved and continued to hop down the road. After another 50 feet, he turned, and waved again. He continued to do this until it was out of sight. I was astonished.

I asked the woman, "What did you spray on that rabbit?"

She turned the can so that I could read the label.

It said: "Hair spray: Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."
