Al, you ought to find a kind of humor more intelligent than merely insulting Americans. You're turning into a troll.

Years ago a raccoon got in our attic. Our house has a peaked roof, and the raccoon used to enjoy sliding down the angle and scrabbling back up - again and again. It chose the surface right over our bed for this game. We'd pound on the wall and yell, and it would pause, puzzled, as if to say "Did you just hear something?" Then it would start up again.

It was cute, but we weren't getting any sleep. That's dangerous. Fortunately, the raccoon moved out when we insulated the attic. We also repaired the weak place in the roof that let a raccoon get in.
