Puzzle Description:
My husband (aka the Engine Whisperer) went to fix our neighbor's lawnmower. The mower had been outdoors all winter, parked beneath a hickory tree. Turns out that the the nooks and crannnies around the motor were filled with hickory nuts. After that, the engine started right up. Wait! Something is burning. Oh, it's only more hickory nuts -- roasting in the exhaust pipe! That was full too. Moral: don't leave your lawnmower outside during the winter or if you do, don't park near a squirrel who is expecting a rough winter.

That happened to my car one winter in MI, with chipmunks and pecans. The pecans were brought up from LA, and the chipmunks spent the winter running pecans through a hole in the garage, to nestle the nuts around my car's engine block.#10: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Apr 18, 2011 [SPOILER]
That's so funny. A waste of good pecans, though. My son-in-law's mom keeps a bag of birdseed in the house. She had a hanging shoe holder in a spare bedroom closet and the mouse filled up her shoes with the birdseed.#11: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 18, 2011
that would make a funny story book#12: Alicia Snyder (prinny) on Oct 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
