Frankly Speaking

A rampaging squirrel in Germany, with a foul temperament and big, sharp, nasty teeth*, attacked and injured 3 before being brought done.

The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said on Thursday.

With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.

The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight it off with a measuring pole.

"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."

How many times do we have to talk about the dangers of restricting gun ownership? See what happened here? If just one of these people had been allowed to carry a concealed weapon, this could have all been averted. We can all be thankful that he was resourceful enough to go for his crutch, or who knos how much damage this squirrel could have done.

As it is, these poor senior citizens will never be able to enjoy sitting in the park, feeding the squirrels again.

Thank G-d I live in a state that allows me to carry so that I can defend myself should any squirrel ever make the mistake of going after my nuts.


*Gratuitous Monty Python reference. How could I not?

In case you couldn't tell, this was sarcasm. I don't really believe any of that, but it's Friday and I'm feeling silly
