Did you know that squirrels are nature’s oven mitts?

I endured a fellow staffer’s “squirrel gravy” a couple of summers ago. Not good, let me assure you.

Of course, there was also the infamous intercamp mail squirrel crucifiction incident…

You’re welcome. The mother of a co-worker accidentally killed a squirrel a while back. We came up with these to “cheer her up”. It worked for about 30 seconds, then she felt REALLY bad, and then saw the humor again.

I guess that I should have foreseen a follow-up post that referenced feltching.

sigh…

points and laughs Ha Ha! …bushy tailed tree rat…

Whammo, you are just toooo funny.

Get two and make 'em into slippers! I wanna be Cinderella! I’m awake at midnight!

{Damn, now I can’t find that glass/fur slipper thread. There went that joke. :mad:}

That brings to mind a story…

This past summer, I was a ranger at a certain park for the performing arts. One day, we get a call from one of the production managers that we need to come remove a squirrel from backstage. Rangers do animal removal in the park, so we think nothing unusual about this request, we – another female ranger and I – get the squirrel trap, peanut butter, apples, all our usual paraphernalia, and go trotting down to the theater.

We get down there and the other ranger goes around the corner and comes back very, very quickly. She has turned a peculiar shade of green and has her hand over her mouth. Somehow our friend forgot to mention that the squirrel was DEAD. Not just dead, but extremely dead. So dead it has become its own wildlife refuge. Picture a carpet of maggots with a little fur sticking up here and there and you get the idea; we have no idea why nobody reported it sooner because it stunk to high heaven.

So my colleague gets some trash bags and manages to pick up what’s left of the body while I go looking for some bleach or something. I come back with some industrial-strength Lysol and liberally apply it to the area, and then sweep up the remaining maggots and dump them in the woods all the while holding my breath and averting my eyes.

As we left, we reassured all the burly stagehands that we had saved them from the dead squirrel.

That was one of the most disgusting things I have ever had to do. Yuck.
