Not TODAY, but a while back.
A guy came by to check out our squirrels/tribbles in the wall situation, and we were talking. There was this one time that he was hired to remove a raccoon. Anyway, it's the middle of the day -- the thing breaks out of the trap. And it's rabid. He's grabbed the thing and is desperately trying to keep it from biting him, while attempting to beat it to death, or at least senseless, before he's bitten. The thing is screaming a wild banshee rabid raccoon who wants to eat your face off kind of scream.
He finally gets the upper hand on the monster, and gets a chance to get a couple good whacks at it. Which is when the lady of the house comes by, to see him beating this screaming raccoon to death.
So, really, that's going to be my new baseline for "how bad could it be, REALLY?"
"Is this job better or worse than being observed beating a screaming rabid raccoon to death?"
