I dont know what direction to take - humor or seriousness.
I hope the traffic stop was worth it.
The driver has one heck of a story to tell about the last time he got pulled over...
I love how the last 3 sentences were worded in the story.
WTH aren't they more concerned about rabies in the treatment of the 3 who were attacked?

Found on the NJ health website:

[size=+1]Can I get rabies from a squirrel or a mouse?[/size]
Squirrels, mice, and other small rodents have only very rarely been found to have rabies, and have never been known to transmit rabies to humans or other animals. In general, postexposure treatment is not recommended after a bite from one of these animals unless it is unusually vicious or appears obviously ill. Groundhogs are the only rodents that are likely to be infected with rabies virus in areas where raccoons are commonly found to be rabid.

Ha ha "squirrel gone nuts" woulda made for a good headline...
Ok but seriously, we have tons of squirrels here and I have never seen one act like that. I would be highly concerned personally. :?Poor lil kiddo must have been terrified though.

I hope they didn't get anything nasty, there was a story a little while ago about squirells with the bubonic plague... I hope it WAS just rabies.
I do see slight humor in that though, definatly something to tell the grandkids. "Well kids, the wars of squirells started when one of the young squirells attacked me right here," *points to neck* "He got away because at that time I couldn't think to kill something so cute and fuzzy wuzzy. My view was soon change" *stares off into the distance*
tehehe
