A Squirrelly Time
Okay so at work I was going to take out the trash to the huge dumpster.  I looked down into it and there was a squirrel inside trying to get out.  This has happened before, but this was the first time the squirrel couldn't get out.  It tried to do a Jackie Chan thing by bouncing off of one wall of the dumpster and jumping out, but it missed every time by half a foot.  After a dozen attempts it stopped and hid under a box.  It didn't listen to my commands to get out of there, so I felt obligated to help it out.  I got a long-handled broom and stuck it in there.  I moved the box it was under out of the way and it attempted to jump out again and failed.  It then just sat there.  I yelled at it to jump on the handle and get out but it was stubborn so I bumped it with the broom until it got the idea.  It then tried to shimmy up the pole like a bear up a tree but the broom was slippery and it slid down as much as it shimmied so I lifted up the broom and it slid within a couple inches of my hand but didn't move a muscle.  I then brought the broom out of the dumpster and it still hung on.  It continued hanging until I shook the broom.  It then jumped off and raced up a tree.  Funny huh?
