Fried Squirrel
A squirrel got electrocuted here where I live. I don't mean in my apartment but out on one of the poles. It caused the power to go out for about three hours. I found out from one of my neighbors that this isn't the first time that a squirrel has gotten itself barbecued.
Some days I come home and the clocks are flashing. That is an indication that the power has gone out. I don't usually wonder why but I guess from now on I will. And to be honest, now I am a little worried.
First off, what is the problem with squirrel self-asteem right now? I mean you can understand one squirrel feeling kind of depressed might decide to end it all, but two? Is there something going on where the squirrels are finding that they can't go on and suicide is the only answer? I think I would want to know what is driving the squirrels to end it all.
Could it just be that the squirrels stepped in the wrong place? That for some reason they felt they had to go across that line and that was it for them? I always thought that squirrels were smarter than that. You know there are always more of them around then you can see, so I figure one squirrel makes a bad step and Zap!, that is it for him. Once the other squirrels stop laughing you would think they would avoid that line. But for some reason, this one today did not. That leads me to only one conclusion: murder.
There is a squirrel serial killer out there. One of the cute, furry, seemingly happy-go-lucky rodents is a murderer. Oh, excuse me, alleged murderer. I wouldn't want to be sued by the squirrel defense lobby. I think there is a squirrel out there who is probably trying to hoard all the nuts and maybe is trying to bump off the competition. Or he just is a sick bastard who gets off on the kill. Who knows the mind of serial killing squirrel? I am just glad that I am not a squirrel because I would feel like a target. After all, how do you stop a mad squirrel? There are no squirrel cops. This isn't a fucking Disney movie. Maybe guilt will get to the squirrel and he will just off himself. I guess we can always hope.
I am kind of worried though. I wouldn't want a flaming electric squirrel to start a fire. That would be bad.
Oh, by the way, that picture is just the result of a Google search for Electrocuted Squirrel. It is not the actual squirrel. I did not see the actually squirrel. But I did see the little squirrel shaped chalk outline on the ground.
Heheheh, that was just funny. Laterzzz...
