Great story!

Dude, that totally reminds me of the time there was a squirrel trapped in my fire place.
My room mates and I tried to “bait” it out by putting a card board box with some peanut butter in it, but that didn’t work.
My one friend suggested we light a fire, but we nixed that idea quick.
So we decided to “go in and get 'im”. I was the lucky one nominated. I put on a thick flannel shirt with a hoodie underneath, had a ski-mask on and everything, with some leather work gloves.
We “barricade” the area just in case he got out. ( don’t know what the fuck we were thinking - these fuckers climb trees, I don’t think the couch would have pose much of an obstacle )
So I get in there and look around and I see the little fucker - up high on a little ledge under the flute… so I go for him and miss! He jumps on my head and springs to the OTHER side of the ledge!
Now picture this: I’m on my hands an knees, head and shoulders stuck into a fire place (it was an old house so the fire place was small) , ass in the air, cussing like a sailor with my friends routing me on. I wish there were YouTube back then!
After about what seemed like an epic battle ( actually about five minutes ) with soot flying everywhere and the little fucker using my head as a spring-board, I finally caught him!
So I back out of the fire place, covered in soot, with a scared shitless little squirrel held out in front of me like an angry alien, and my friends are just standing there…
This fucker is CHOMPING on the gloves with all he’s got, like a UFC fighter “raining down the hammerfists”, he was “raining down with the squirrel teeth”! So I’m like, “open the fucking door!!”, and my room mate was like, “which one?” and I was like, “the kitchen door you dumbass!”.
So he practically falls over the couch and slides to the kitchen door and throws it open and I run up and throw the squirrel out. We all collapsed onto the couch laughing our asses off. That was some funny shit.
I hope you have similar luck with your bat![/quote]
