Smart Squirrel 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
I attended college in my freshman year with a fellow, Victor. Victor seemed like a very nice, smart young man. He did have some facial defects, his eyes were a bit weird and watery, and he was in the process of having operations on them to fix them.
The story goes like this. He was into creating creative explosives, one of the more (less!???) brilliant ones, hopefully the last, was a squirrel trap. The idea was to have a platform with squirrel food on it, when the squirrel comes to get the food, it would trigger the bomb, thus eliminating the squirrel. I don't like squirrels, but this seemed a bit over the top. Well, the squirrel bomb set, and the squirrel approaches. Squirrel takes bait! Squirrel...well, the squirrel ran off! What next? check trap. Now a normal person (wouldn't have done this in the first place, but) would have thought and maybe thrown a rock at it or something. Well, Victor walked over to it AND JIGGLED THE TRIGGER TO SEE WHY IT DIDN'T GO OFF!!!!!
Victor survived and is a very nice young man, and moved his interest to computers, so hopefully him or his (potentially future)children aren't temped by squirrels anymore.Submitted on 08/29/2002
