Squirrel-ché # 5

“When in Squirrel...”
“ Squirrel wasn’t built in a day.”

Yes, that’s right; today you get two for the price of one. It’s like today is your birthday because I’m unveiling the truth behind two clichés since their origins are closely related. Happy Squirrel Day to you!

There are so many mysteries that surround the lost city of Atlantis. Some of these mysteries we will never unearth, but there is one that has been discovered. Brace yourself. Are you ready? Here it is: there is no Atlantis. The lost city was named…Squirrel. I know many of you are already shaking your heads in disbelief. To complicate matters more, the name of the city these expressions refer to has changed again in “recent” history and is now known as modern day Rome. So you’re probably asking yourself what Rome has to do with Squirrel (or, as you’re used to hearing it, “Atlantis”). Well the answer to your scholarly question is very complex and theoretical. We’ll just suffice it to say that Rome is a substitute for Atlantis which is a substitute for Squirrel. Aren’t you glad that I’ve done so much research for you and now you don’t have to worry about the intricacies and details? Now shake your pretty little head “yes” and cheerfully go about enjoying the rest of your Squirrel Day!
