This American Life - Nov. 13, 1998
Thanks to WBEZ and PRI, who produce the show.

Suggested by Sara-Jo, who listens to KUOW in Seattle:

"This American Life's story about the cop's first day on the job, in which he tries to catch a squirrel in a house. In fact, I've heard it twice, and both times I had to stay in my car, laughing, with tears streaming down my face."
