Many years ago during one of the big corporate training events in room of about 80 people we had a little icebreaker activity, where we had to say something interesting about ourselves that nobody else knew. I don't remember what I or anyone else said, except for one lady. She was a high powered account executive or something, but as aside, she said she owned a peach and nut orchard somewhere in California, and she had a big permanently loaded shotgun in her car to "kill the f*cking squirrels" (her exact quote) as she drove through the property because otherwise "they'd get nothing at all".
Great vivid picture and great icebreaker!
- beezle 5y agoGrowing up I lived near a Russian couple that had emigrated post revolution around the time of WWI. They had a good amount of property that they covered with various vegetables in the summer. Very industrious people. The husband despised the squirrels for ruining both his garden as well as his bird feeders. Being handy, he put one bird feeder on a metal articulating arm out the kitchen window. And then he wired it to the outside light switch. He got much joy out of flipping that switch and shocking the tree rats!
