It's raining squirrels...where can I hide?

Squirrels are dropping from the ceiling like flies! You never know when one might fall on your head! They'll grab your hair and scratch your scalp! Look out, 'cause they may have rabies. One might bite you and you'll be frothing at the mouth and carrying on like a crazy fool. Look out, I tell you. Look out!

Ok, maybe there was just one, but the thought of masses of squirrels running around, building nests, and raising babies in the ceiling is a pretty exciting concept. Can't you imagine them leaping from a grand old tree outside the building, onto the ledge, and then tunneling through holes in the building. I can see teams of them hauling twigs and leaves and hoisting them onto the top of the ceiling panels. Maybe there are whole colonies of them, some conducting business, others creating birthing centers.

Oh well, here's the reality: one little baby squirrel was found running around the office, terrorizing the staff. He was scooped up into a box and let go outside.

I prefer the first version.
