Squirrels

I know, I know, and I just recently found out I'm not funny.But that's not coming as too much of a shock. Still . . . my daughters laugh quite a bit so my wits are perfect for 7 and 9 year-olds.

They're OK, I've had better. The chief problem with squirrel meat: it is VERY tough, all that running up and down trees makes very hard muscles.

A new food trend. Raise squirrels from birth in a box and don't let them use their muscles. It would be a veal type version of squirrel.

No. My marketing version would be something like this.
Hey folks. Come on down to Road Kill Resturaunt. We've branched out from the normal fair and are offering a great new meal. Squeal Parmigiana. Delicicious and tender. Mention "Duck Dynasty" and get a free salad.

A new food trend. Raise squirrels from birth in a box and don't let them use their muscles. It would be a veal type version of squirrel.
Or the squirrel version of the animals already penned for life in little boxes for the benefit of our precious palates.
(The genuine veal-eqiuivalent would entail ripping the unborn sqirrels from the womb)

The optimist would say, "He almost made it."
the pessimist, " . . . . never had a chance."
That should read: "She..." Count the nipples.
That's not a squirrel, that's just a rat with a hairdo.
