NFR Humor (No political jokes)

My tent mate and I dangled a Raccoon at scout camp. Boy, was it PISSED! We set up a snare using a bent over sapling, and the 'coon ended up with one foreleg free and just enough spring in the tree that its hind feet were still on the ground. There it is; sometime in the middle of the night out behind our tent, hanging upright, lunging about with one free paw; spitting, hissing, and gnashing its teeth at us; making a surprising amount of noise. Our scoutmaster had to get out of bed and come cut it free ('cause we were freaked out), and was not at all happy with us. Good times!
 
That reminds me of a story that a friend told me, about the time he captured a goose in his arms. The chase had so consumed his attention that he forgot to consider: Now What??

More fond memories... For a while I lived with a few buddies on a little gentleman's farm in suburban NY. There was a very aggressive goose, Rags, who thought he owned the place and was really quite intimidating. One night after a few trips to the kegerator we discovered that a ski sock pulled down over his head was a very effective way of pacifying him.
 
I recall a story about a rancher in Texas that used a lasso on a deer that was drinking water from one of his cattle troughs. Instead of pulling against the rope (like a domesticated animal) the deer attacked the rancher, who ended up in the hospital. He was too embarrassed to admit that he was dumb enough to lasso a deer, so he made up a story, and his whole town was on high alert regarding killer deer around cattle troughs.
 
As a surveyor I spent a lot of time in the woods, and as many other quasi-bawdy men, would occasionally joke about tackling a deer. A guy on my crew had worked in Florida on the Disney site, cutting line through swamp and scrub. They had also joked the same, except that a young new guy must have taken it seriously. One day they inadvertently trapped a small deer, whose only escape was down the cut line past the crew. Young guy tackles deer. As you know, deer are very bony. This deer, probably not much bigger than a dog, kicked and mauled the young guy pretty fiercely. I would imagine that’s the last deer he will tackle.

Man do I despise those disposable flossers. Not only do they litter parking lots (or worse yet indoor venues), but for some reason they have made it seem acceptable to some to actually floss at a public dining table. Floods, earthquakes, droughts, locusts, floss things...signs of end of times?

Yup, right up there with stepping on somebody's ABC gum.
