Marcus, That sounds preferable to Trapping the little devil. They get really 
mean if you get in their way.

So clearly a little tactful negotiation is preferable , as I recall my advisor 
at that time flipped a coin to determine

who would have to approach the cage trap and release him. 

 

I lost.

He is probably still laughing…

“At some point I saw a skunk about 50 feet in front of me.  If I had had a 
rifle I'd have made a hasty retreat.  But instead I aimed carefully and 
dispatched the skunk.  The last days of the wild west.”

 

I once had a hot tub which I used mostly to lower my blood pressure after day 
(after day) of frustration at work.  There may have been some drinking involved 
too.  A common visitor late at night was a neighborhood skunk who’d poke its 
nose over the side.   Alarming at first but I came to look forward from visits 
from that little guy.  

 

Not sure how it works in to Vladimyr’s metaphor.
