They Must’ve Been Nuts
Three Hurt in Squirrel Attack at School
San Jose, CAA child and two adults were hurt when a squirrel wandered into a San Jose elementary school classroom Wednesday morning. The door to a first grade classroom at Evergreen Elementary was left open when the squirrel scampered just after 8:30 a.m., according to school officials.
An 11-year-old girl was bitten twice on the arm, and two adults were attacked as well, said Will Ector, spokesman for the Evergreen Elementary School District. All three suffered scratches and bites, and were taken to a hospital for observation, he said. Ector said the school has never experienced such an attack before.
All classroom doors were immediately closed and children were kept away from areas frequented by squirrels. The animal involved in the attack escaped right after the incident and its whereabouts is unknown. Humane traps have been set in an attempt to catch the critter, said Ector.

The easiest way to catch a squirrel is to climb a tree and act like a nut…. The second easiest way is to put salt on their tail…..

They would have seen it coming had they been more familiar with Monte Python. Oh wait, that’s a bunny…

Yeah…that stuff never happened at my school. All we got were cats, although once we did get a seeing eye dog.
A squirrel though, no never. Come to think of it, I never even saw a squirrel in real life near my school, or my home, or my county.
WHERE ARE ALL THE SQUIRRELS?

In NJ there are so many squirrels. Heck, there aren’t enough acorns to go around….
In Germany, I’ve seen a grand total of one (1) squirrel the whole year, and it looked like a cross between a gopher and a chipmunk:lol:
