Jitters


This tale be start'n at K-Mart. For the past week a squirrel( whom I've given the name Jitters) has inhabited the Garden Shop of said K-Mart. For the first week I didn't see the little feller for meself, but just traces, shells from sunflower seeds and so forth. I haven't been scheduled in said shop once in the two years I've been working thar until last week. Every day I would sweep up them shells and torn pieces of cardboard that scallywag would leave behind.

Two days a go the beast showed himself to me. Made me pee me pants he did as he ran by the shelf I was straightening and disappeared into the depths. For many days grown men have tried to catch the rascal only to be outwitted, until today. Yah see, they set a trap for him, and he walked right into it. I asked the boss what his fate may be, and he said he'd walk the plank at sun down and drown in the murky depths of Davy Jones' locker!


Why am I talking like a Pirate you ask? I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean and thought I would do some thieving of my own. When my shift was over and after I punched out, I stole Jitters who had been baking in the sun for five hours. I felt sorry for the little fellow and couldn't bear the thought of him being drown. I had to rescue him!

When I got home, Sherry and I took him to the Wildlife Sanctuary where he will be spending the next couple days while a wound on his nose heals. He will then be set free in the wild where he will live happily ever after. The lady said Jitters was lucky that I rescued him and gave me a number that I could call to find out his condition. I will keep you posted.

Yar! Twas a nice thing yee did.

You should've sent the Kraken after him.

The Kraken, is that the thing with ALL the giant testicles?

I called the sanctuary last night and they said Jitters was doing fine and is being sent to a rehabilitation facility.

I think so. It was the thing in Pirates that was sucking the ships down.

Man, that movie sucked. I'm thinking Monster House will be better.

Ben, check your e-mail. I sent you a mock-up for a layout.

His name was Jitters
And although we never met
I feel I know him.

Did you want me to do that new layout for you? You never e-mailed me back.

Also, don't forget to come down here for the Rentals tomorrow.

DifferentDamage said...

Ok, well I guess you'll have to let me know about the layout. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
