Said squirrel is already known for his squeamishness about climbing
under cars and has little interest in becoming pressed squirrel. If said
squirrel were ever to find himself in a situation where climbing under a
van lifted by a jack were necessary, such as to extract a chest of nuts,
then said squirrel would chock the wheels and jump up and down on the
van and push it from side to side first. If the van has not toppled over
and the jack were not emitting creaking sounds then said squirrel, if
said squirrel were still a smoker, might then light one up before going
under in order to take a moment longer to consider the wisdom of the
plan. Squirrel distrusts large heavy objects on wheels. Now a
bicycle . . . there's something I'm willing to climb under.
