you can say that your thought processes move so quickly that you didn't even smirk once....and i can reassess my opinion of how candid you are when it comes to things like this. i doubt very much that you didn't laugh at this. but whatever.

I can honestly say I didn't find it funny when I watched it. I didn't even get a momentary flicker of shadenfreud. I saw it operate once, was horrorstruck that someone would do that and turned it off. The fact that, apparently, later in the video the squirrel comes back again and again, did make me chuckle. That's a funny image, the ever returning squirrel who knows what's going to happen but takes the risk. Even so I wonder at the metality of the person who did it. Because the first time they tried it they wouldn't have any idea of the potential consequences for the squirrel.
I absolutely believe that Flint is being candid when he says he didn't laugh. Even for a moment. I showed that clip to the two Js, my mum and my friend D, and they all reacted in exactly the same way as me. And indeed, apparently Flint.
