not the brightest of rodents

I was just walking between buildings on campus and, in the course of my walk, encountered a squirrel. The squirrel was clearly uncertain to make of this human ambling down the sidewalk, and when I got close enough he panicked and ran up the nearest piece of vegetation: a rhododendron less than 18" tall, which immediately bent under the squirrel's weight and dumped him right on his face in the bark mulch.

Yes, I laughed at the expense of a rodent today. I may not be proud, but I am amused.
