MONROE, Ore. -- The thing to do if a squirrel runs up your leg is probably not to aim a .22-caliber rifle at it.

A Benton County, Ore., sheriff's officer says a 36-year-old Monroe man told deputies he was startled by a squirrel that ran up his left leg so he fired at it but hit his foot instead.

My first reaction would not be to shoot the squirrel but try to brush/fling it off me.

Good thing the guy didn’t have a hatchet in his hand.

Thank you, THANK you! I saw that years ago and laughed so hard my stomach hurt. It’s nice too see it again.

Also laughed (not as hard) at “Sittin’ Up With The Dead”...

And add another thank you!

Definate Darwin award candidate.
To be a Darwin Award candidate, one must either kill oneself or take oneself out of the gene pool. Had the squirrel been on his belt or crotch, there would have been a good chance of chlorinating the gene pool.
