"Are You Okay?"
This is an old one -- 1996, to be exact -- and I've already checked Snopes and came up with nada. So, enjoy.
CORTEZ, Colorado (CNN) -- "Imagine you are a prairie dog and your landlord wants to evict you. One minute you're burrowed into your home sweet hole; the next minute you're hurtling through a vacuum hose and landing inside a padded yellow truck. You can't read the side of the truck, but it says, 'Dog-Gone: Prairie Dog Control' and below that, in green letters, 'Environmentally Safe.'
Meet Dave Honaker and Gay Balfour, who are ridding fields and prairies of prairie dogs, hole by hole, with the help of a revamped sewer truck. Not for them the aggressive techniques of rifles, poison or flooding...On a good day, Dave and Gay can suck hundreds of the 3-pound rodents out of their burrows."
Check out the full article, and be sure to watch the movie.
I shared this with Melissa earlier today and her anthropomorphic response was: "I'm not okay, you jerk! I've just had my eyeballs sucked cross-eyed!"
Ah, she makes me laugh.
