Default Silly Safaris - Part I

In another post, Kansas suggested that I, (Uncle Tom, as he put it ), should tell some of my Silly Safari tales. My best friend and hunting buddy at the time, Bob, decided we needed to thin the squirrel population in Dickinson County a bit. I picked him up early on a Saturday morning and we headed for the Longford, Kansas area. Bob had his little Browning .22 auto with a scope and I was using a Smythe & Wesstion K22. It didn't turn out to be the best hunting day, but as always, we had a good time. He was a funny guy and could make up his own jokes on the fly. I did manage to get a shot at a squirrel and he instantly fell from the tree with a thump. It was getting pretty close to noon, so I picked up the critter by the tail and went over to where Bob was sitting to see if he wanted to grab some lunch. We walked back to the car and I tossed 'ole mistah tree rat' in the trunk. We were pretty close to Longford, so we decided to head there for lunch. There wasn't much to the town, but they had a beer joint that served great hamburgers. About that time a cold brew sounded pretty good too. We pulled up in front of the bar and got our guns out, so that we could lock them up in the trunk. When I raised the trunk lid on my old 55 Buick, the fun began! Evidently I just grazed the squirrel's head and knocked him out. (and a little crazy too, I think!) He jumped up and began running a 100 miles per hour around and around inside the trunk. I'm guessing he made about 50 laps in record time! I slammed the trunk closed and Bob and I just looked at each other in amazement. He said in his best imitation of an Arkansas accent, "You hold him Luke and I'll thump him!" When I quit laughing (about 10 minutes later), I opened the trunk again and the little varmint jumped out and headed down Main Street like his tail was on fire!
