Predators invited to city

Fri., April 4, 2014

This is Wile E. Coyote calling all weasels, raccoons, skunks, coyotes and rats. Let’s head to the city.

It seems like there will be plenty of eggs, chickens and ducks to feast upon. We can set up shop, propagate and live the good life. Think of the disturbances we can cause, and if the food supply dwindles due to our overpopulation, we can raid the food those cats and dogs cherish so much.

We might even get a cat or two and maybe scare the daylights out of some little kid. And flies really don’t bother us, just a minor irritant.

So let’s get organized and head to Spokane, also known as the twin cities of Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. Whoopee!
