Roadkill

by K. Darcy Hanzlik

     Road kill is "a fact of life, so you've got to have a sense of humor about it," said Dick Novotney, a state road maintenance supervisor who, like many in his field, keeps his hand on the "You-Hit-It, We-Spit-It! Road Kill Grill" menu.
     No one is quite sure where the mock menu came from, but it sports such dishes as "The Chicken that Didn't Quite Cross the Road," "Poodles 'N' Noodles," "Chunk of Skunk," and the daily special -- "Anything Dead Between 2 Slabs of Bread."
