University Police Hires First Ever Squirrel: Revolutionary!

Worcester employment rates for squirrels shot up last Wednesday, to a whopping .001% when Clark University’s Police shook paws with Mr. Acorn Bigtail and signed an employment contract for him to start as an on-campus officer the following Monday. After the deal was made, The Freudian Slip was able to catch UP Chief Stephen Goulet for a few words on what provoked the contract. “We have a very large squirrel population on the Clark campus, and are so very grateful for them,” Goulet stated. “We hope that the hiring of Mr. Bigtail will aid the squirrel economic crises that has hit this winter. We will be able to catch more students smoking the devil’s plant and partaking in illicit activities due to Mr. Bigtail’s ability to climb trees and smell better than any of us here at UP! We have a waiting period of 3 months, and if Acorn completes our expectations, we will continue hiring more squirrels as police officers.”

As for the student body, Clarkies are nervous about the new addition to the staff. Squirrels are already widely known on campus as being little bastards. They are always scurrying everywhere with their little feet, scavenging food to save their meaningless, pea-brain lives. Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful…

One can identify Mr. Bigtail from other squirrels by his official UP badge and custom-made squirrel gun that shoots acorns.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
