About thirty years ago, I was with a girlfriend in a campground at Great Smoky Mountains NP. We were sitting down, watching a squirrel running around in a tree about 30 feet above us. gf said "I wonder if they ever fall?"...And a moment later the squirrel fell to the ground, right in front of us.

I said to her, "Be careful what you say from now on."
