On many an evening walk, I noticed this small skunk that hangs around a nearby school.
He always lurks in the darkness, and me and the dog always beeline it to the other side of the boulevard/street/parking lot/postal code to avoid the stinkrafuge that his angry butt could potentially unleash upon my dog's face.
Then, one miraculous day, I walked the dog in the daylight.
And damned if I didn't come face to face with the smartest f_cking squirrel EVER. The little dark brown/black bugger has... wait for it... (are you waiting?
I hope so...
I like to build suspense...
While forcing you further down the page and closer to my advertisements...
I digress).
He's got a white tipped tail.
I've never seen anything like it, and today I finally caught that shit on digital imagery! I was so happy! Then I was all worried someone would come raging and screaming out of the school to tell me to delete my harmless photos, lest a child's face be caught in the image. (I made that mistake one day at work when I was at a daycare site. Holy shit. Privacy laws are intense, yo).
Again, I digress.
So I got thinking... he's got to be the world's smartest squirrel for deceiving all who approach him into thinking he's a skunk.
Then I remembered that most dogs are pretty dumb when it comes to caution and skunks, and most dogs I know pummel themselves face-first directly into skunk ass. They wouldn't really avoid something that appeared to be a skunk, anyway.
So that left me feeling more like it wasn't the smartest squirrel ever, but that, perhaps, I was just a relatively dumb dog-walker/blogger.
Either way, that shit is epic.
I can feel your judge-y eyes. But I tell you, smartest.squirrel.EVER.
