As a side note, my dad tried for years to keep the squirrels out of his birdfeeders. He rigged up all sorts of gadgets, like hanging the feeder from a wire with an old 33-1/3 record above it. The little rodents would go through the most hilarious contortions trying to hang down and snag the food. They succeeded no matter what he did.
Dad's mellowed in his golden years. Now he just says, "Aw, squirrels need to eat, too," and buys extra corn and nuts. He's got them so darn tame that at his and Mom's 50th wedding anniversary party, held outside under tents, the squirrels terrorized the guests by running around under the tables and refusing to leave.
Maybe I oughta give him a SQUNGEE for his next b'day!

That is an absolute riot! If it wouldn't mean instant death to the squirrels (because of the three dogs) I would buy one!

And also -- notice that this is a Minnesota-based invention!
Where the women are strong,
The men are good looking,
And the squirrels bungee-jump, each and every one!

Reminds me of the Texas definition of high entertainment - a bug zapper and a six-pack.
Now I've gotta go buy one.
