And I had no idea they were so cute!" The bicyclist stopped to watch the skunk for a moment and then bicycled home. Poster's comment: The bicyclist must have never biked by City Hall, for there are a good number of skunks there. I think the point is that life passes by at just the right speed on a bike. Think about that one for a moment, and whether that might be the way it really is. Also kind of sad that someone's first sight of a skunk is not as a child. Before I was nine I'd seen all of those critters up close and personal while wandering the woods with friends. Your friends were skunks? Figures. JEalous your rellys went over to his house? |

And a Really Pathetic comeback. I can remember lying on my stomach watching a mother skunk and three kits walk by less than three feet away. Precious times. And they're still around if you look for them. The bicyclist is paying attention. |

Since they noticed such things (in all cases the skunk started dancing around on its front legs, for example) they avoided getting sprayed. ROTFLOL!!! Yeah, dancing around on the front legs is a sign they're perturbed about something. They sure ain't telling the other skunks the distance and direction to a food source! Not the Macarena... |
