Hi All Skunk Sufferers
I just saw on the evening news what may be the answer to your skunk
problems. A skunk in Texas was determined to get the last pickings out of
a cup of yougart and, you've guessed it! He got the cup stuck on his
head and couldn't get it off. It took a fearless appartment manager to
snatch it off the skunk's head as it blindly ran around in circles.
Maybe a few strategically placed yougart cartons around tour observing
site may do the trick!
Hope this works
