Reply #19: I actually know a guy with a chipmunk in his freezer. [View All]

Swear to god.

We live in Las Vegas, where there aren't even squirrels or fleas or mosquitos, but this guy's yard keeps getting infested with bizarre animals. An endangered tortoise (native to the Mojave, but certainly not native to the suburbs), a pair of hairless cats, some kind of endangered squirrel (not native to anywhere within a 1000 miles), gophers, chipmunks...none of this stuff lives in the desert, except this one guy's yard.

One of the hairless cats killed one of the chipmunks and he was afraid it might be on the endangered list, so he keeps it in the freezer as proof that he didn't kill it himself.

I'd think there was something up with him, like dealing with exotic animals illegally or something, but I've known him since we were in middle school; I was the best man at his wedding and the godfather of his oldest son. The guy's as straight an arrow as they come.

Now that I think about it, he posted on Facebook the other day that he thinks there might be a parrot hanging around. So, yeah, there's at least one person I know in real life with a chipmunk in his freezer with a valid explanation.
