Squirrels to Live By #2

“There are always more squirrels in the tree.”

The adapted version of this cliché is, “there are always more fish in the sea.” This is another awful example of how another creature has gotten the credit for something the squirrel inspired. When you think romance what do you think? That’s right, you’re most likely picturing a soft squirrel with a plush, billowy tail and deep brown eyes. I know I am. Shakespeare, even understood the relationship between romance and squirrels and wrote about it often (don’t even get me started on the conspiracies connected with that cover-up). Even before squirrels were shooting lovers with arrows, they were associated with relationships. Interestingly, the Egyptians believed that this lustrous animal had aphrodisiac qualities. I, for one, believe it. Anyway, the squirrel can be credited with so much and this is just another wonderful nugget of wisdom inspired by this amazing animal.
