That's awesome ST.  I did that to a skunk that had a dairy queen cup stuck on it's head.  Luckily it just waddled off and I didn't get sprayed.

Reminds me of the bizarre episode involving Pine Knot and the red squirrel on that camp on McIntyre.  The poor little critter got its head & shoulders stuck in a small, nearly empty bottle of peanut butter (the squirrel, not PK). 

In what appeared to be a dramatic (and somewhat uncharacteristic) rescue effort, PineKnot carefully freed the troubled squirrel from Jiffy captivity.  Sadly, its furry little nose and windpipe were choked with peanut butter. However, heroic mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was NOT on PK's mind.  Rather, there were old scores to settle and his motivation was more sadistic.  With a gleam in his eye and his sweat-dripping teeth bared, PK chomped down with a vengeance.  Alas, the wily rodent struck first!  With a perfectly timed, clean tongue bite, he averted doom, scampered away and will surely haunt PK another day.

And, yes, the blood feud continues....

Now that the secret is out, please show some compassion and understanding the next time you hear PK lisp when rolling "r's" in phrases such as "wretched red squirrel."  He does what he can with his challenging disability.  And now you know the rest of the story.

I would like to join in, but all I have to offer is pulling a stupid cats head out of a dogfood can it dug out of the trash.  Wish I had more interesting stories.  Maybe next year.  MB
