The Crazy Skunk

Yes, today I saw a skunk, a friend got sprayed and I almost threw up. This morning Jacob and I were riding to a building and while we were going by the office, we saw a skunk. It was a funny looking skunk, mostly white. About that time we were laughing about it and Dan starts to walk towards the skunk and in return we screamed, "Skunk, Dan!!! Skunk", he heeded our warning and retreated to the office. We returned to the office a second later and noticed that the skunk was walking around on the side of the road a little funny. I, being the camp rabies expert noticed some signs that led us to believe he was not normal. It looked like he was walking down the side of the road all shaky, and zig zaggy like. He was injured to some degree and not right in the head from what we decided. He was also headed towards the hill that leads into camp, of which there were 400 kids waiting to get sprayed by the crazy skunk. Well, pickens county does not have animal control and in which case, we are animal control. As we were trying to decide what to do, we figured that to put this guy out of his pain and misery would be a good deed to some degree. This is where the mini truck came into play. Run em over, that seems like a quick execution. So the mini truck went into hot pursuit of this albino skunk, all ziggy and zaggy, just a little quicker now. Imagine Indiana Jones and the boulder chasing Indi, but change Indi into the skunk and the boulder into the mini truck. About the time the mini truck came close to contact with mr. skunk he decided to defend himself... spray time baby. It coated the truck and it ended up making a very stinky smell. Mr. Skunked ended up escaping only having his tail get a little brushing by the tire and he ran off into one of our barns and took to hiding. About this time I was two hurndred feet away I caught a wiff of this smell and started to dry heave a bunch, luckily I did not puke. It was really a crazy morning.
