Get out your pellet gun and knock them down.
Check out his snowball machine gun.
Well, I think it is pretty clear he was interested in seeing how the animal would react, and was pretty funny in his commentary.
I didn’t know that squirrels could fall from nearly any height and survive, though I did see one on my morning commute one day walking on a powerline over a busy road, and it fell off, bounced off the asphalt a couple of cars in front of me, and darted off the road to live another day.
Funny. There is a section of road with rows of oak trees on either side, and it is a squirrel graveyard. The road is littered with corpses of dead squirrels.
When I saw this scene, I wondered if God had farmed out the programming of the squirrel road-crossing program to some lesser angel who was being given a last chance to produce.
He almost got it working, but still too often, the squirrel would get across the road free and clear, then suddenly turn and run right under the tires of a car.
Go figure.
