Daisey: “I thought so, too, Pa… but truth be known, she used them pills to load her shells with. She thinks them squirrels is ‘crazy ol’ varmints,’ said ‘they need th’ dang meds more’n I do.’ Then she said ‘an’ they’s bitter.’”
Pa: “Th’ pills’r th’ squirrels?”
Back in the late 90s i had a elderly neighbor that shot the squirrels with bb guns to keep them out of his bird feeders. The whiners next door called the police and they confiscated 4 bb guns and gave him a ticket for felony discharging a firearm in city limits. He wasnt killing em just letting em feel a little pain so they wouldnt tear down the feeders.
As a matter of fact, Leah, I am left-handed. Would that explain my penchant for psychotic episodes of envisioning above mentioned pachyderms? The libations of which you propose that I have a propinquity for are of they liquid type, but still, they may be the channel through which my sightings are manifested.
But then again, I may be just full of myself.
Ah, night, you shouldn’t oughta be talking about Ber like that. You might hurt her feelings. Then she’ll sic the Wally World Po-least on ya. Just a fair warnin’…….

Guess she was hungry. Sometimes older folks have trouble making ends meet. Perhaps she’ll get luck and hit oil like them there Clampets.

If’n she’s usin’ the scattergun, I’m bettin’ she ain’t plannin’ on eatin’ ‘em. If’n she was gonna eat ‘em I ‘magine she’d be usin’ the .22.

Damn, wonder if that’ll work on those pesky pink elephants I keep seeing in my yard…

Peripherally parading pesky pink pachyderms? Ber, have you been leisurely lighting left-handed libations again?

Actually, the nickname my neighbors gave me rhymes with “rosy witch”.
