An 8-point buck activated the automatic doors of a West Des Moines, Iowa SuperTarget and strolled right in. That’s all the information you need; on to the bad jokes from witnesses:

“Someone said he was coming to visit his cousin, Moccasins,” said Abby Frasher, an assistant manager of the store at 5405 Mills Civic Pkwy. “That’s a really bad joke. Maybe he heard our produce was really crisp.”

“Did anyone come in behind it with a bow and arrow?” said Roger Houts, of Des Moines.

Frasher said the buck’s timing was impeccable, considering several of the district honchos reviewed the store’s holiday displays Monday as part of something they call “Reindeer Run.”

CNN is reporting that the buck slipped near the “makeup aisle.” — MEGHANN MARCO
