As everyone knows, I have a sweet tooth for sunflower seeds.
I can’t get enough of them. My brother-in-law, Carl, on the other hand is a bit
nutty. I mean that literally. He can’t get enough acorns and other nuts. He is
an acorn hoarder. He likes to spend all his time with squirrels rather than his
fellow chipmunks. Does anyone of remember that old Dunkin Donuts commercial
“Time to make the donuts”? Carl sets his alarm clock for the crack of dawn and
is out gathering acorns at first light. He can stuff an acorn in each cheek
pouch and one in his mouth (three all total). He has some stiff competition
from the squirrel union. He keeps a sundial by his burrow entrance and has a
self-imposed quota of 30 acorns an hour. There are rumors that his underground
warehouse is the size of football field.
