At least one skunk in that predicament knew how to get help. The skunk showed up at the real estate office of Patti Smith one recent morning. At first Smith didn't know why her dogs wouldn't stop barking. When she got close, however, she saw the skunk with its head stuck in a small glass jar. "It walked up to me and I took off running and went and called my father and said 'You've got to see this and help me,'" Smith told KXTV's Jonathan Mumm. Smith and her father wanted to help, and the skunk made sure they knew what it wanted. "It would go back and forth between the two of us and then it would go over here and bang its head on the steps trying to break the glass off," Smith said. ------------ LOL! I love how anthropomorphic and humanoid they made the skunk, heehee!

I just saw it was written by SAC guy so I just assumed you saw it at work for some reason. I love that the skunk came back and had a nice meal with "the family". lol.

Chorus The day the squirrel went berserk In the First Self-Righteous Church In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah! Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin' Some thought he had religion others thought he had a demon And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms He fell to his knees to plead and beg and the squirrel ran out of his britches leg Unobserved to the other side of the room All the way down to the amen pew where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you Who'd been watchin' all the commotion with sadistic glee But you should've seen the look in her eyes When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs She jumped to her feet and said "Lord have mercy on me" As the squirrel made laps inside her dress She began to cry and then to confess to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame She told of gossip and church dissension but the thing that got the most attention Was when she talked about her love life and then she started naming names Chorus The day the squirrel went berserk In the First Self-Righteous Church In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah! Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved, Twenty-five thousand dollars was raised and fifty volunteered For missions in the Congo on the spot Even without an invitation there were at least five hundred rededications And we all got baptized whether we needed it or not Now you've heard the bible story I guess How he parted the waters for Moses to pass Oh the miracles God has wrought in this old world But the one I'll remember 'til my dyin' day Is how he put that Church back on the narrow way With a half crazed Mississippi squirrel Chorus The day the squirrel went berserk In the First Self-Righteous Church In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival They was jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah! (I love that song)
