Clearly didn't observe the speed limits through the KFC drive through.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

That pic reminds me of a tale i once read,not sure if it's an urban myth but it goes sommit like this;
British Rail were testing the new APT,the new 125mph flagship passenger train and needed to test the strength of the windsreen from all things feathered.They got the machine from NASA,and duly set about testing the windscreen.The first bird they fired went through the windscreen,through the drivers console ,straight through the drivers seat and out of the drivers cab,must to everyones horror.
They immediatley contacted NASA and the teletext they got back read;
THAW THE CHICKEN

Puts a new twist on "Chicken Nuggets" I bet the driver/rider was passing plenty of nuggets in both incidents.
