How many licks in a tootsipop?

I had the opportunity, early this week, to get the answers to all of life's most puzzling questions. (42) For when I went to feed chickens, what should I find in the chicken pen but a long-eared owl? He was a rather grouchy sort, a bit uppity you might say. He puffed up like a big tom-turkey and hissed and cackled. It was a once in a lifetime experience, that I am likey to save to that I can exagerate it to my grandkids.
