One-Liner Wednesday – Knowledge vs. Speed

“You snooze you lose…unless you have kitchen privileges“

I pulled into our driveway on Sunday morning, and found two squirrels waiting in the yard. They seem to know that we carry nuts (or perhaps we are nuts) with us in the car. As I walked over to toss them a few peanuts, they heard some squawking and ran to the dogwood for protection. I tossed the peanuts. As they started to come down, two blue jays arrived in the tree. For a few seconds. everyone stood still, then the blue jays swooped in and scarfed up the peanuts.

I went inside, but a few minutes later, I could hear a gentle tapping on the front door. The two squirrels were waiting on the porch.

“Hi. You’re the guy that lives with the lady who feeds us. Did she give you some nuts for us?”

“I thought I heard something…”

Center left is the blue jay swooping in.”

Obviously, I wasn’t planning for action shots. This guy is about to nab a peanut.”

“Yoink – You snooze, you lose squirrel.”

“The peanuts were here until those blue jays butted in.”

“C’mon, we can get some nuts up here.”

“Those blue jays to the peanuts.”

“Did you ask him for more peanuts?”

“Hey, did you take both peanuts? One of those was for me.”
