This one is really bad.
There are reports of a new problem in Australia. Some of the kangaroos
have developed a thirst for revenge against the traffic that keeps
knocking them down. Drivers have reported that they'll pass a herd of
roos that are hopping along peacefully, but as soon as they've passed
them, the roos suddenly change direction, and veer right towards the
vehicle. The driver then has to drive as quickly as possible to escape
the rampaging marsupials. So the Australian authorities have issued a warning to drivers.
Drivers are being urged to keep an eye on their veer-roo mirror at all times.
That is B.A.D.
It's so awful I'm going to send you a com-poo-tah in Serthern Draw-wal cartoon just for revenge.

(and yes, as I live in "the bush" I do have the odd kangaroo hop down my driveway).
OH G.R.O.A.N!
