[ I once watched a guy try to impress his girl by grabbing a chipmunk off a picknik table. He succeeded only to have the thing chew across the skin between his thumb and forefinger faster than he could blink. It looked like he stuck his hand in a sewing machine and was bleeding profusely. I tried not to laugh. ]
Must have been a city folk, growing up on a farm you learn that when handling wild animals if you are crazy enough to try grabbing one, grab it by the head and wrap your hand around it’s head forcing it’s mouth shut and use the other hand to hold it’s body firmly to the ground or other flat surface.
