The Idiomatic Phrase You Thought You'd Thought Of But We Got There First

Animals are much more talented than you think. Take Simon, the famous skunk fiddler of Oklahoma, who could play the violin like no other skunk before or probably after. Known as the Fritz Kreisler of the Mephitidae, Simon could play any tune you'd care to whistle from a safe distance though his favorite piece was Nirvava's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Also, because of his unfortunate anal scent glands, he was probably the loudest violinist in the world (human or animal) and played Red Rocks to an audience of 8,000 without amplification.

In September 2004 Simon was tragically killed as he was accidently shot by two rednecks in Arkansas who inadvertently veered 750 yards of the state highway in pursuit of skunks.
