The stupidest thing I have ever done...

What did Forest Gump say, "Stupid is as stupid does??" When I was 13 years old I saw a wild squirrel in a tree and decided that I wanted to catch it and keep it for myself. After chasing it from tree to tree for over half a block I finally caught it by clasping both my hands around its neck. It quickly rotated its head and sunk its teeth into my hand. It was amazing to see how little resistance my flesh/tendons/muscle had against the nut crushing jaws of a wild squirrel. Oh yes....I bleed profusely and the harder the squirrel bit me the tighter I squeezed its neck...the tighter I squeezed its neck the harder it bit me. Needless to say, my Mom almost passed out when she saw all the blood streaming down my arm. It was pretty bloody!! They had to kill the squirrel and send the head to Austin, Texas to check for rabies to determine if I had to get the infamous shots in the stomach (1960s). Forest Gump was right, Stupid is as stupid does.
