Rabid Beaver Bites River Swimmer

The possibility of writing jokes about rabid beavers quickly incapacitated me.

I couldn’t move. Not only did every funny thing come try to come out in a post at once, but I think I passed out for a few minutes due to the excitement of referring to beavers as lady parts.

See, the fact that beaver can also mean a vagina and the fact that you could then make a joke about how this was, in fact, a rabid vagina, made me a pile of laughing mush.

So, needless to say, I think this is pretty funny.

A swimmer in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area was bitten by a beaver that tested positive for rabies, the National Park Service said Friday.

The park visitor was swimming in the Delaware River, just south of the Eshback Access, on Thursday afternoon when the beaver bit, Recreation Area Superintendent John J. Donahue said.

Donahue said he did not know whether other animals in the park had rabies, which is transmitted by the bites of infected animals. SOURCE: The Morning Call

As I think back on how the phrase “rabid beaver” has changed my life, I also want to express my condolences for the rabid, soggy beaver. This gross little rabid beaver is now up in beaver heaven where she can play with a bunch of other beavers.

As sad as it is, I guess, everyone is OK. 

Don’t forget, Musikfest has started and we have tons of prizes to give away in the Musikfest Photo Scavenger Hunt. All you need is a camera.
