Read a story on a different post that got me thinking about this.
A few years back this fellow I know thought he had a possum living under his porch. He got the bright idea to set a trap for it using a long piece of wire tied to the porch. Well about three am one morning he and his wife were awakened by a bunch of noise under the porch. Out he goes in his bath robe and bedroom slippers with baseball bat in hand. He proceeds to grab the wire and gives a big yank to extract the possum and out comes a big ole stinker. I don't have to tell ya what happened next but I will. The skunk sprayed him, the porch and the side of the house. Well he was so made at this point that he began to wack the skunk with the ball bat and compounded the problem exponentially. Every time I think of this I have to laugh all over again and I guarantee he will never live it down!
