Robert L., Bobby's father, loves fried squirrels.
In fact, it's one of his favorite foods. So when he was driving with
his wife, Mary, last week near Heber Springs. A young squirrel ran under
his car and hit it's head. He could see the squirrel flopping in
his rear view mirror. So he pulled over and stopped. Mary said,
"What are you stopping for?"
Robert said, "I'm going back thereto get that squirrel.
It'll go good with the one I have in the freezer."
Mary said, "You are not going to do any such a thing."
Robert explained that the meat wasn't hurt any because
he hit it in the head. But finally Mary persuaded him to drive on.
As they pulled out, she observed, "My Lord! You have stooped to eating
ROAD KILL!"
Rice V.l says they had an unusual 911 call this week in
nearby Harrisburg. Some guy calls 911 and says, "I need help out
here. I've got a deer in the back seat of my car."
911: "Come again."
Driver: "Well, I hit a deer with my car and put him in
my backseat. Now he's come too and is tearing up my car."
911: "Where are you?"
Driver: "Out here on highway 241."
911: "What kind of car do you have?"
Driver: "Look, lady. It's the only car out
here with a deer in the backseat. You can't miss it."
Rice reports that the deer did some major damage to the
inside of that car.
Four year old Kenton C. had lots to talk about today. He told me all about going "trick or treating" last night. He was dressed as Godzilla! But that wasn't the biggest news of the week. He best story was that he threw up four days ago. Now that's a big event in the life of a four year old.
