Black squirrel

Was walking with my girlfriend to my work to pick up my paycheck, and on the way back we ran into a black squirrel. We live in a small town in Siberia with a lot of nature and animals around, and the deeper you go into the forest, the more variety there is. But this squirrel was bolder than most and seemed used to being fed. She came right up to us, so my girlfriend took out an oatmeal cookie and we gave her a tiny piece to nibble on. Just a little, since the cookie is sweet and we didn't want to hurt her.

Then a guy walking by said in a raspy voice, "Damn, he looks like he just crawled out of a stove."
