ANGLERS: Attach a helium balloon to your line and bait the hook with an acorn. Then sit under a tree and "fish" for squirrels. An upturned laundry basket would make an ideal keep-net, but don't forget to throw the squirrels back into the tree at the end of the day.

What drugs have they been giving you at the hospital for that elbow. Whatever they seem to be doing the job.

There's a story here about a mate of mine who was training to be a Naval Pilot and had to do a survival course in case he was ever shot down behind enemy lines. This involved travelling across the south of England avoiding capture and living rough, surviving off the land for a week or so. After about the forth day with hardly any food he decided to put a snare up a tree and low and behold he caught a Squirrel. Lighting a fire and spit roasting the poor creature it was apparently one of the best meals he has ever had and yes it tasted like chicken.
