FREEDOM, Pa. – Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a western Pennsylvania home during a Halloween party by a relative who thought she was a skunk.
New Sewickley Township police say the girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder Saturday night.

Some body told him it was Sandra Fluke.
A definite skank.
For over 30 years I thought it was spelled “yunz.” So much for going to college in Pittsburgh.
I knew a girl in high school who claimed to love the smell of skunk. I thought she was a wacko, but she insisted...
Well, this IS Pennsylvania!
No joke.
Years ago my family was camping in a State park in Central NY. My father went into the mens room. as he was washing he hands a baby skunk came wadling in to have a look around. My father stood stock still. About a minute later a much lager skunk (Mother?) followed the youngster in. My father is now praying that no one else walks in. Both skunks sniffed around for a minute then turned and walked out with out incident.
I know I wouldn’t argue with her.
Try finding a copy of “A Sort of a Saga” by Bill Mauldin.
It includes an interesting story involving skunk musk.

I don’t reckon either of those excludes the other. :oP
Meanwhile in Afghanistan the Taliban shot a skunk, thinking it was a little girl.
Yes, I kept more friends when I started saying “Very interesting” instead of “Horse apples!” (except not “apples”)
Definitely not mutually exclusive. ;-)
1, you don’t kills skunks unless it’s absolutely necessary. They release all their nasty stink when they die. 2, what kind of moron thinks that skunks come that big?
