The following story and pics reminds me of a knock-knock joke my dad once told.  You'll see the connection soon enough -

Gotta luv a good dad joke.

This is an interesting one, and let's be honest, kinda cool too.

I felt a little bit like Dr. Louis Leakey.  You know, the pioneer Kenyan-British paleoanthropologist famous for discovering the fossil remains of ancient hominids in East Africa, upon discovering this dude...

Although, the below remains were discovered in a corner of my garage, not in East Africa and technically not a hominid, it should still qualify as a unique find AND there was no digging required.

Honestly, it's the weirdest thing.  I have no idea how long this critter was there and I can tell you that at NO point did I ever smell anything foul or bad and I walk in and out of my house through the garage constantly.

Without looking ahead at the other pics, care to take a guess at what this poor animal was, that I found in a corner of my garage behind a box?!

Guessing the critter made it's way in the garage when I had the door open and was out mowing the lawn or working in the yard and got trapped in there.  Clearly it's been there a while or perhaps the high heat and humidity we had in July and August helped move along the decomposition process.

Flipping it over, I can clearly see it was a rabbit, and I'd say a young one at that -

Works great as a coaster, sitting on the living room end table. I'm kidding...it's really on the coffee table!!

A sad and unfortunate demise.
