I don’t know if NEIL ARMSTRONG, the first man on the moon, had a sticker on his rocket dashboard saying THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING or even whether he had one of those NODDING DOGS. Well, we have been giving out car stickers of RED SQUIRRELS saying BOX THE POX for this CUTE CREATURE is being WIPED OUT BY SQUIRREL POX – a deadly disease that does not appear to INFECT the GREY.

So, Ram, Angus Burton and I have taken it upon ourselves to write to GUY LALIBERTE, one of the RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD who is ON A MISSION to spread awareness about water conservation with an aim to combat poverty, sickness and death. We would like to ask if he would consider squirrels too.
Guy Laliberte, accordion player, stiltwalker and fire-eater and the founder of the circus troupe, Cirque du Soleil, touched down in a Russian spacecraft this week after an 11 DAY SPACE JAUNT in which he wore a CLOWN’S RED NOSE throughout. The motive? TO RAISE AWARENESS OF WATER CONSERVATION. We feel he was thinking OUTSIDE THE ROCKET when he came up with this brilliant idea. So given that GUY the CLOWNING ASTRONAUT likes the colour red, is into conservation we have written to Mr Laliberte to suggest that IF HE EVER SHOOTS OFF TO SPACE AGAIN we think he could go down in history as THE SPACEMAN WHO SAVED THE SQUIRREL by exciting media interest and sticking A NODDING RED SQUIRREL on his SPACECRAFT DASHBOARD.
PS: Guy Laliberte once said “The wildest dreams can come true when we all invest our energy, willpower and creativity. One drop at a time, one step at a time, we can do it.”
