Every time Carol Infalt's phone rings, she's not sure if it's going to be condolences for her deceased skunk or a joke about her husband's formerly private parts.
She's been getting a lot of both since Ozzie the pet skunk paid the ultimate price for biting Dan Infalt's penis.
I think it's a Freudian typo, but in an e-mail to my newspaper Carol said, "This is when the hole disaster starts."
While the embarrassing news crackled over the emergency scanner, Dan was rushed to Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital last week.
At that same moment, Department of Natural Resources warden David Walz was heading for the Infalts' Jefferson County home to take Ozzie into custody. The animal quickly was euthanized so it could be tested for rabies, which has stirred up the skunk-loving community
Meanwhile, Carol received a call at work from the hospital and was told it concerned her husband. She assumed "car accident."
"They told me where he got bit. I had to come and pick him up," she said.
She's not trying to add insult to unspeakable injury, but she blames her husband and not Ozzie for this one.
Rough-housing with an animal equipped with fangs is a bad idea. She'd warned Dan and their three kids about that countless times since they bought Ozzie as a baby for $100 last year from a game farm in Iowa.
"He was playing rough with him on his lap, and Ozzie bit down on my husband's penis," right through his sweat pants, she said.
Several stitches later, Dan's is fine except for the realization that he'll forever be known as the guy with a skunk on his junk.
"He always wanted to be famous. Maybe now he will be. He was hoping to do it more through hunting," Carol said.
