Purple Squirrel Baffles Experts

Purple squirrel baffles experts

A purple squirrel which appeared at a school has baffled experts who are unable to explain its colour.



Teachers and pupils at Meoncross School in Stubbington, Hants, were amazed when they saw the creature through the window during a lesson.

Since the squirrel, now nicknamed Pete, was first seen, it has become a regular fixture at the school but no one has been able to say whether the animal has fallen into purple paint, had a run-in with some purple dye, or whether there is another explanation.

Baffles scientists? What? I don't want to meet those scientists, I just might have to smack them across the face.

Baffles "experts", actually. They never said in what area of expertise, though...

Expert #1: "My God, Margaret! Just look over there, atop the trees! Is that- Is that a purple squirrel??"

Expert #2: "EEEEE!! Frank, I'm frightened, hold me!"

Expert #1: "Stop this wishy-washy nonsense at once Margaret, come to your senses! We're experts here for goodness' sake!"

Expert #2: "Oh yes, yes! How silly of me! I was only 'expertly' expressing my shock and surprise. Now this is a remarkable specimen, is it not?"

Expert #1: "Quite so, quite so!"

Random dude passing by: "Uhh, looks like someone just painted it purple to me."

Expert #1: "Painted it? Haha, ho ho! Mmm! That's rich, hoho! M'yes, painted! My dear man, do you not realize we're experts here? I rather think we know best!"

"Expert #2: "Of course we do! As my learned colleague says, we are experts! And we say, this is a natural phenomenon!"

Ra,

Pete the purple squirrel FTW.

Wouldn't it be cool to be a Purple Squirrel? You'd have loads of attention and your purple.
Anyone else agree with me on this?
