The other day we-- when I say we I mean my company, I am not so foolish-- were painting a house. Suddenly a couple of squirrels scampered down a tree and the crew went nuts.
They started racing around the yard, howling and knocking over paint cans. The neighbor lady came out and started yelling at the crew to keep it down. That was about the worst thing she could have done, as Doug (who is a very mediocre painter, but a bit tempermental) ran over and bit her leg.
Fortunately for her, Doug was recently tested for rabies. Fortunately for Doug, he was rounding the corner when her husband unloaded both barrels of his shotgun.
Meanwhile, the other crew members were standing at the base of the tree, yapping like it was a full moon. The squirrels were sitting on a branch, dropping acorns on the crew's heads. At some point either the squirrels ran out of acorns, or lost interest in their taunting, and scampered higher into the tree.
Spike-- our production supervisor-- ventured onto the scene at about this time. Spike is bi-polar, and "bad" Spike decided to make an appearance. What ensued is not fit for a family publication such as this. But suffice it to say, a few ears were red after Spike was finished.
That job went way over budget and we never saw Doug again.
