  They say you begin to get old when you return to your childhood hobbies and take fun in things that are very simple but amuse the hell out of you.
Well, guilty as charged at the age of 26. For the last couple of weeks i've been obsessivly building scale car models like I did when I was a kid. We have this habbiscus tree (or whatever the hell it's called) on our patio in a pot so it can get some sun for the summer.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a squirrel digging in the pot and despite my efforts at scaring him, he's getting braver by the day. Now this ain't no ordinary squirrel. The thing is almost the size of a cat and he's SMART. Now he stays in the pot and taunts me. I swear he hangs out in there until he sees me inside noticing him. The little shit knows he can outrun me and I won't be able to hurt him because now i'm up to the point where I can actualy open the patio door, walk out and get about 6 feet away from him before he takes off and climbs up his tree to hide.
Same thing happened this morning. Me outside in my boxers and a t-shirt trying to pounce on a squirrel while my neighbors are probably watching me and laughing their asses off. So hence the question of the day... How do you teach a squirrel a lesson without hurting him in any way? The stuff they sell to put in dirt to repel squirrels smells like ASS so that was out. A statue of a cat or something?
No, it's too smart for that. While browsing the isles of Canadian Tire, it suddenly appeared right in front of me and oh boy did the little hamster in my head ever kick it into high gear. The answer to the question of how to teach a squirrel a lesson without hurting it is to nail the little f***er with jet of water coming from a Super Soaker EX 630.
Holds 3L of water, pump action and has a shoulder strap. So I go outside to test it and man it GOES! I could probably nail a squirrel square in the head at a distance of 30 feet. Here's the kicker... No sign of the squirrel in the past 2 hours since I tested the gun. You be the judge of how smart this thing is. BEWARE THE URBAN SQUIRREL. I feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack with the goffer and probably look just as dumb but i'm keeping myself occupied ;) VIVA LA RESISTANCE!! !
