LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Those in charge of blind justice have been holding their noses at the Tippecanoe County Courthouse.
The source of a foul odor that has been lingering in a Superior Court office for a couple weeks might have been found Wednesday when health department workers discovered a large, dead squirrel stuck in the office's duct work.
Court secretary Sharon Macy and her co-workers had been burning candles and spraying air fresheners to help mask the odor.
"All of these smells get to you by the end of the day," she said.
A search last week discovered a dead bat in a light fixture near the ceiling. But the stench wouldn't go away, and employees said further searches focused on the ceiling, boxes and in the floor.
Attorney Dan Moore said the odor was overpowering.
"It prevents you from taking a deep breath," he said.
If it had been a hampster, Kerry would've broken off the campaign trail and flown out there to save it.

... when the squirrel went bezerk... never mind
My condolences.
