The squirrel went out the door, and he spent the next couple days patching holes and painting walls.

I would think poison blowdarts would be best for indoor hunting?

P-

One of those "Oh sh..." moments.

He should have used the S13 flamethrower from the Sears catalogue. Or alternatively, he could have tried opening the doors/windows.

Innocent question: why do american's seem to think so many problems can be solved with weapons? I was reading national geographic the other day and this american lady wrote in with a brilliant idea for tackling some of the hurricanes u get yearly. Why, you drop a massive amount of explosives into them, of course. I thought it was brilliant.

Well not all of us are like that! Some of us would rather not nuke other countries and much less ourselves!

Are you a teacher?

I am a grad student in English Lit, and I teach some lower level writing classes. My students are foreign students learning to write well in ENglish, older students returning to school after some years, and aAmericans who never quite learned to read, write, or do math in the 12 years of public school. :-)
Some of them do very well, and some just can't make it. This is a shame, because they have access to free tutoring daily, as well as all sorts of online and other forms of help. I should have about 50% of the students passing.

I had another student turn in a debate essay whcih started "Child Abuse is a bad thing and people shouldn't do it."[/b]

just plain old english, simple direct and to the point.
