Why raccoons have masks

[daveleau]

I was sitting here about an hour ago, relaxing after getting home from a hard day in the ratrace and I heard a cough from upstairs. I looked back and then I heard two loud bumps and then a few more from what seemed to be inside my upstairs attic bedroom. Both of my roommates are on vacation visiting relatives in Europe so it's wierd being in this big house all by my lonesome. I get wigged out and start to go downstairs to the ground floor when I hear another cough and more rustling. My heart is racing by now. I grabbed my cordless and ran outside after hearing a great deal more walking and noise from upstairs. The guy in my room sounded HUGE! No way was I going to mess with this guy. Did imention I live on the outskirt of th hood? I look around but none of my neighbors lights are on so I decide to call the police. Not 911 b/c I'd feell stupid if it were a false alarm. Well noone answered my calls so I resort to 911. About 5 minutes later 3 patrol cars drive up along with a canine unit. (Now I'm glad none of my neighbors lights are on!) They secure the perimeter and the dog goes in. We hear alot of barking as the police officer tries to holdonto the G Sheppard and I thik its either found the guy...or found my stash (jk). Just as he's getting the dog calmed down, the 'man' jumps off th roof with his furry little soul-mate and they runoff into the night. Man I have never been so relieved/ embarrassed to see two raccoons in all of my life. Well the cops left and now I get to reitre with a good drinking story at least.
have a Happy and paranoid-free New Year!

Was that one of them Dave?

[daveleau]

THAT'S HIM! Wher did you last see him? He is wanted in SC for amany crimes! And his lover is too. She bares a striking resemblence to him but just a little more female looking. If raccoons have a female look...
