Man, that reminds me of a story my dad and uncle loved to tell. They were cable splicers for SWB and they always loved it when they were up working on a pole and saw a squirrel heading down the cable towards them. They couldnt resist giving the cable a good shake and watching the show. Well one day, one of their buddies opend some sort of box up on a pole and a squirrel had gotten in it. Instead of racing out of the box, the squirrel tried to hide and only his tail was sticking out of his hiding spot so this guy grabbed his pair of nines (pliers) and grabbed him by the tail. Problem was, he grabbed too far up and grabbed him with the cutters and cut the squirrel's tail off. They said it looked like a cartoon scene when that squirrel came out of there and tore that guy a new one. He bout fell off his ladder.Originally posted by droptine
