Is this for squirrel pick up lines or stories?
My story is: when I was young I rescued a baby squirrel that was under a car and took it to the local wildlife refuge center.
My pick up line is: (not really a pick up line. It's hard to find a squirrel joke that aren't about nuts)

It's apparently a great icebreaker. Some people just have squirrel stories they never get to tell.0 -
I was in about the 6th or 7th grade when my older brother brought home a baby squirrel. He found it in a friend's yard. (Yes I know he should have left it alone but what can we do about it now eh?) Anyhoo, we fed and raised the little thing as a pet. We had it for 2-3 years. Well one day my parents decided to bug bomb the house. We had roaches like nobodies business. (It was bonus that came with the house we were renting!) So we put the squirrel in the bedroom I shared with my older sister. We placed the squirrel in the bedroom closet and left the door open but places the lid to the squirrel tank in the closet doorway to prevent him (or her) from getting out. We closed the bedroom door and sealed around the door with tape and stuffed towels underneath, and left a screened window open. When we returned a couple hours later I went into the room to get the squirrel. I knocked over the lid to the tank we placed in the door way of the closet and it pinched the squirrel's foot. Well I was just dumb enough to try to pick up the squirrel. He (or she) bit me. It went nearly all the way through my finger. I still have a scar. The end.3

When I was a little kid, my grandmother would hustle me inside whenever there was a squirrel nearby. She told me that they had rabies and if one bit you, you had to get ten shots with a foot long needle directly into your stomach or you would go insane. I have an irrational fear of squirrels to this day.
When I was visiting London, I was in Hyde park and someone nearby threw a treat to a squirrel and I guess the squirrel thought it was me because it started following me. I ran to try to lose it and it just kept following me. My friends thought this was hilarious! I finally went into a shop to get away from it.

Once, years ago, while on an early morning run, I heard a rustling in the tree I was passing followed by a thump. I didn't know squirrels could fall out of trees, This one did, shook itself off and scampered back up. Was funny at the time.1

I came here to post something similar. A few weeks back I was driving home through a small forest. In the middle of the road was what I assumed was a newly squashed squirrel, so I positioned my car to avoid squashing it further, when out the corner of my eye I saw a second squirrel stood at the verge looking out at the other squirrel. I then imagined a scenario where they were chasing each other across the road in a playful manner and one didn't make it, so the other was waiting for its friend.
Put a right bummer on my afternoon that day.
Yeah I'm looking at squirrels in another light now.0 -

Once I was walking in a park and made eye contact with a squirrel in the middle of burying a nut. He stopped, realised I was watching him, dug up his nut and went somewhere else. Fool thought I was gunna steal it!2
