Why are they even allowed to drive?
@MeanwhileinCanada A squirrel was drinking in a bar. At the end of the night he stumbled out the door only to return moments later looking for his keys. The barman says: "You're not going to drive, are you?"
"No", says the squirrel. "I'm just locked out of my tree..."
@MeanwhileinCanada they drive slowly because they have very small cars.

@MeanwhileinCanada

We don't have that many Squirrels here in Belgium, not even red ones...on the other hand, we do have a lot of chickens.

@Slufferbeiste @MeanwhileinCanada Are they feral or do they have a coop or other type of shelter to return to at night?
@acrousey @Slufferbeiste @MeanwhileinCanada They're wild across much of North America.
@AskPippa @Slufferbeiste @MeanwhileinCanada True. I have my own chickens, but I have seen plenty of "prairie chickens" flying around here...
@acrousey @Slufferbeiste @MeanwhileinCanada I visited Hawaii several years ago. Nobody warned me about the wild chickens. They were everywhere! And they were colourful and very pretty.
@MeanwhileinCanada It’s a warning- those dang black squirrels tend to tailgate
@MeanwhileinCanada Because the chipmunks employ them as chauffeurs.
@MeanwhileinCanada So long as you have a valid license, we don't discriminate... 🤷
@MeanwhileinCanada They must be courteous Canadian squirrels!!
@MeanwhileinCanada Well, that blows the whole, "It's fast 'cause it's red" theory out of the water.
@MeanwhileinCanada lol, it reads like some spy speak countersign from a spy spoof.

@MeanwhileinCanada it sounds like the beginning of a poem, like

Red Squirrels
Drive slowly
Drink barrels
Of grain whisky

Their sluggishness
Drive raccoons nuts
They're high on meth
And kick their butts

@MeanwhileinCanada if they are as fast as the squirrels here, they trick you get your keys and off they go in the blink of an eye.
@MeanwhileinCanada you ever tried to stop a squirrel from doing something they wanted to do? Willful creatures.

@MeanwhileinCanada

some clown forgot to put a period between "squirrels"" and "Drive"

@MeanwhileinCanada Ya know I typically complain that signs need punctuation, but then we’d lose these precious moments. 😆

@MeanwhileinCanada

I have seen tbe grey ones do this too.

@MeanwhileinCanada the orcs lied to me. Red ones don't go faster.
@MeanwhileinCanada They're actually more proficient than most human drivers...

@MeanwhileinCanada

False; it's the moose who drives.

@MeanwhileinCanada "Uh Yeah, I sure hope it d—"
@MeanwhileinCanada Its only for the red squirrels. Gray squirrels and very careful drivers.

@MeanwhileinCanada

🐿️- we drive at a sensible speed given road and weather conditions, thank you very much!

@MeanwhileinCanada This is why I come to Mastodon. To get that international view of life on this planet.
@MeanwhileinCanada @WilliamNB Isle of Wight here. We’re now on a mission to flip you up. They drive just fine thanks. Albeit a bit skittish on a roundabout.
@MeanwhileinCanada Ah, yes. The lesser known Ron Shelton comedy.
@MeanwhileinCanada
do other colored squirrels drive the speed limit? Or faster? carry on
@MeanwhileinCanada I guess that means they probably won't hit the slow children at play..
@MeanwhileinCanada Because they need all the help they can get over Eastern Grey squirrels. The sign's a bit confusing though, it's telling other drivers to slow down so that the red squirrels can go fast.

@MeanwhileinCanada

No lie, when I was a kid I thought we had to watch for pedestrians because they were from Pedestria and weren't used to being around cars.

If I ever meet one, I will definitely slow down!

@MeanwhileinCanada
What do their cars look like?
@MeanwhileinCanada
You missed the capital D in the sentence case.
@MeanwhileinCanada definitely harkens back to a radio show caller who once asked why deer were asked to cross on a highway. Sign makers offer a special gift to the world.
@MeanwhileinCanada Who is selling rodents motor vehicles?
@MeanwhileinCanada Exactly! Especially when us cats can't drive. I demand equal access!
