Why did the squirrel cross the street? To get to the other side.
Why did the squirrel cross the street back to the first side? Because a car was approaching in the lane closest to the first side and the squirrel decided it suddenly had to run back there instead of running away from the car.
Did the squirrel become squirrel pâté? No. I was expecting it to have as much sense as the people in the GEICO commercial that decided hiding behind the chainsaws was the best way to avoid the serial killer.
