Chipmunk Lore---Vermont Style

    Conversation----Yes, about chipmunks

ME:  Regaling Dave about various chipmunk incidents on the home front in Valley Falls

MEDICAL PERSON: Do you have  a BB gun?

ME: Maybe, but...

MEDICAL PERSON:  We have a lot too, and we shoot them with a BB gun.

ME:  Well, I don't think my aim is that good anyway.

MEDICAL PERSON: That's why we trap them in a barrel and shoot them there. We split them open, flatten them out, and use their fur to make things---hats and such.

ME:  But they're so tiny.

MEDICAL PERSON:   That's why we need a lot of them.
