The lead singer of Kill Hannah (one of my favorite bands) keeps an online journal documenting band experiences which have included recording their major label debut to life on the road during one of their several tours.
This recent entry was hilarious, even mom enjoyed it.

Oh, the strangest thing happened in Missouri. We were speeding on the highway at night, in the middle of conversation when suddenly there was a tremendous THUD on the roof, and a dead bat collapsed on the seat next to Dan. No shit. –4 seconds of confused silence followed while we each internalized the situation and processed the data. -looking up at the vent in the roof, looking down at the twitching bat. Up, down, up, down. Then… mayhem! Eight adult men shrieking and cowering like 3rd-grade girls, fighting each other, jockeying to be the one furthest away from “that brown furry demon thing.” –almost drove into a ditch. Eventually we settled down, and realized that up close it looked like a harmless dead little monkey. I saved it in a bag with the intention of scanning it for our next album cover, but the next day when the hot van started to smell like a baboon’s dick, all eyes were on me and my funky parcel in the back. Regrettably it had to be tossed.

I would have totally freaked out. That is too reminiscent of Jeepers Creepers 2.
That is too funny. Scan the bat eh? Don't they have a digital camera?
