There is a tenant that lives in my building who pays no rent This time of year he spends his time rolling his nuts into storage behind the brown wood paneling at the head of my bed He scurries around his furry little self, day and night to ensure that I get no rest I asked the landlord if this tenant pays rent "How much do you get from him" I asked "Can't get a nut out of him" the reply "So why don't you evict him" "Don't be stupid, I can't evict him" "Why not?" "Because you can't take a squirrel to court" About a half an hour later the landlord knocks on my door Shows me a handful of acorns then demands "GET OUT" I think HE's nuts
