How many firemen does it take to catch a skunk?
Apparently three, plus a bystander.
I’m serious. I drove up to the parking lot at work this morning and a firetruck was blocking the entrance to the lot. At 6 am there is nary a car in the lot, so naturally I wondered what the heck the firetruck, lights flashing, could possibly be doing.
Upon pulling over I saw behind the truck. And, then I smelled the skunk. I don’t know why, but the firemen were attempting to catch the skunk in a small box with a long pole and a tarp.
I drove on to a different lot, as I didn’t want to wait or smell. I can only imagine it might have been rabid or injured and posed a threat to morning commuters which would be soon arriving. But still, it’s not a sight you see every day.
