    Joel, you get rid of that shit yet?
    I'm worried with how skiddish Smiley is anyway, let alone when something like a squirrel comes along. That dog may have a heart attack.

    Search YouTube for "squirrel launcher" and/or "squirrel catapult." You'll get plenty of ideas.

    (I'm told no squirrels were harmed in the making of those videos.)

    I suppose I can't prove it, but logic says a squirrel flying into a tree at approximately -- and it's really just a guess -- 20 mph is going to sting.

    Have yet to see one actually hit a tree; perhaps you found one I didn't.

    My brother had a similar problem with a raccoon a few years ago and decided to have somebody come out and remove the raccoon from the premises. The first guy he called went by the name of Critter Dave or Critter Joe - something like that, which should have raised a red flag right way.

    Well, the Critter dude shows up and instead of saying he'll trap the animal he says he'll go down in the basement and shoot it.

    They called somebody else.

    If you've ever shot a squirrel in your house, then you just might be a _________ (noun).

    Upon further review, the sucker didn't go into the tree. I was confused by a reverse replay. My apologies. Let the squirrel tossing continue.

    A .22 Long is a bit much.

    A .177 pellet works just fine.

    Supper is served.

    Damn straight! They tear up the yard, tear up the garden, break into the bird feeder and spread disease. Launch the tree rats!

    (They do not eat the lemons off the tree. Whichever one tried that seems to have been put off by the first bite.)
