Squirrels to Live By # 7

“Squirrels of a feather flock together.”

Squirrels have fur, they don’t have feathers. You were probably thinking that there is some exotic breed of squirrel that has feathers, but there isn’t. I could see how you’d assume that since this amazing little creature never seizes to surprise us. What can’t a squirrel be or do? Well for starters they can’t have feathers. It’s just not in their genetic make-up. But you didn’t come here for a biology lesson so I’ll get back on track. The original version of this squirrelism was, “Squirrels of a fur roam together.” Alas, this phrase doesn’t roll off the tongue quite right and even I’ll admit that. Furthermore, simpletons, like those that relate to birds, prefer to say phrases that rhyme because it makes it easier for them to remember common logic (hence,” righty tighty, lefty loosey.”)
