In this one office he would leave the sliding door open a squirrel and a half width and the critters would come in and take nuts and other goodies from him. It actually worked pretty well for clients that were wound tighter than a top and ready to pop, you could see them visibly relax when either watching my Dad feed the fuzzies, or they would do it themselves.
Every once in awhile he would get a high profile case that would cause some scrutiny. Well this one April Fool's day when I was doing some research for him, I had come in to find that he had left with his slider open squirrel width, most everything was knocked off his desk, the trash can had been rummaged through, and every file on his credenza was open and or scattered onto the floor. I was pretty scared until I got around to the back of the desk and found that his 25 pound sack of nuts had been DECIMATED!!! There were shells and the papery stuff everywhere! Those squirrels had had a party and the message had gone out on the squirrel telegraph that rounded every little fuzz tail in the area up!
Wicked daughter that I was, I met my Dad at the outside entrance and told him his office had been ransacked (we were in the middle of a huge NRA case at the time). He turned pale, clutched his chest and took a step backward... I never pulled a similar *trick* on him again!
