You hit a what?

Heard on the traffic report on a Toronto radio station this morning:

...and if you're north of the city, on Highway 10 just south of Highway 89, there's a dead kangaroo in the left lane...

I just hope that whoever hit the animal didn't have any car damage:

Insurance company: You hit a what?
Driver: A kangaroo.
Insurance company: Rrrrrriiiiiight. Let me just check your policy...

My first temp job when I was living in Sydney was taking claims calls for an insurance company. I once had a man call in and describe the damage to his car in extensive detail. I noted with some surprise that the vehicle was still drivable, then asked what had caused the damage. He said he'd hit a 'roo on the way to work (he was up in Queensland). I started to laugh, and he asked me what was so funny. I replied that we didn't really have that problem in Canada (which made him laugh, too).
