(AP) Several squirrels are barking at each other outside my upstairs window like military personnel. If any of them turns out to be the jerk who was living in my attic a year and a half ago or so, and if he’s planning to launch a new attack, there will be war.
Just sayin’.

Oh you brute. The squirrels just want to be your little woodland friends.
This is only true in badly written fantasy fiction and badly told D&D modules. They are actually horrible creatures.
You’d better watch out before you find yourself hauled up in front of the squirrel board!
I do not like squirrels at all. Sometimes, they’ll gather in my tree, 12 or 15 at a time, and I run for the door. Hearing that many squirrels chatter together frightens me. It always sounds like they’re planning an attack.
