Well for the past week my mother has been complaining about the 2 squirrels that keep terrorizing her roof and front porch covering.. Anyway I think their quite intertaining. This afternoon mom leaves the house and it was 3 minutes that she was out the driveway and here they come a running, down the tree and on the front porch.. They played in the fake flowers and rocked in the old wicker rocking chair, it was a hoot to watch.. So I walked out there to give them some peanut MM's.. Of course they checked them out and took them away. Then i thought of something else.. My son has this remote controlled fart machine.. So I took it out there and put it under the tree and put more peanuts on it to see what they would do.. Well they came down and were checking out the candy when I let the machine rip a long one.. The squirrel just freaked out and jumped up and sideways up the tree. So I hit it again and both slowly left the area.. Now That I know how to get rid of them, I guess I'll share with mom.. Who would think that a fart machine could be used as a squirrel deflector?... Now you got ta laugh at that...<br />I tried to take a picture, but they are just to fast.. I wanted to share...

While I am not surprised by this admission, I do celebrate your cleverness.<br />PS: Where can I get one?

He got in the mall in Oregon.I think it was in Albany or Salem. I was just so happy when he showed it to me.. I took it down to our local store and had some fun.. You may want to check out E-bay and look under "Whoopie Cushion" also. That is what this is called..<br />Have fun.. But don't do it to a cop, we found out my neighbor didn't find it to funny..

I have about 50 pecan trees on The Hideout, so every fall there is a JB v. larcenous rodents war.<br /><br />I wonder what would happen if 50 whoopie cushions all went off at the same time. :)
