A lil Friday night man cave humor
So I am sitting in my man cave enjoying my fine selection of night cap beverage when all of a sudden I hear a lil rustling. I pause and listen, sure enough, rustle rustle with a squeak squeak this time
Oh for sure I am not alone and the night cap surely hasn't damage my hearing. Grab the nearest flashlight, of course the batteries are going dead so it is dim as a night light with a flicker to it
Start a scan of the cave with my dimely light torch to see a long lanky tail disappear into the recycle bin
MUST be a rat! Grab the bat, flip on the light and get ready to swing away when all of a sudden a lil pointy nose sticks out then disappears quicker than it showed itself
Crap, whatever it is it's going to make me find it among the twigs and weeds I pulled earlier in the day that I tossed into the bin. I mean I would really hate to beat the crap out of my recycle bin just to make a big mess. So I lift off the top layer to find a baby opossum!
Now trying to catch a lil baby opossum may seem like an easy task but this lil bugger had some wheels! I mean it ran circles around this bin quicker than any NASCAR driver could! Finally got a hold of it by cornering it with my trusty shovel. Had the lil sucker by the tail carrying outside when the thought hit me, where's momma? Well I found out real quick where she was! She was hiding behind the garbage cans next to the bin and proceeded to chase me out of the garage as I had her baby by the tail!
Here I am, baby by the tail, momma chasing me mad has a tiger that just had it's tail yanked on and I found out real quick, I still can run! Made it out the back 40 with momma on my heels and launched her baby gingerly (as gingerly as I could with a pissed off momma on my 6) over the fence into the neighbor's yard! With a hiss and some sort of snort she was up and over the fence quicker than a crack head running from the boys! Came inside after I figured out she was no longer interested in me to go grab my really bright flashlight and see if I could see them in the neighbors yard. Sure enough, both of them sitting there like nothing happened but momma had another hiss and snarl for me
Moral of the story, keep your man cave door shut and a bright flashlight with you at all times. Oh and tie your shoe's
Crap, now my night cap needs a night cap
