Don't laugh. When I lived in Northern Utah I had a neighbor, worked as a chemist for a sugar company. Phd etc. Anyway one day I went over there to shoot the breeze and he had a .22 pistol out on the table. His family had gone downtown to go shopping or such. We were sitting in his dining room and I asked about the gun. He said he had a mouse problem. So, peaking my curiosity, I asked again why use the gun. Anyway as we were talking about this, he motioned to an electrical outlet on the wall, there was a slight gap around the drywall and the cover plate. You could see these little teeth nawing at the drywall next to this outlet. With that he pointed the gun and shot at the electrical outlet. Well, you know what happened next.. Buzz! Zap! out comes some sparks and then some flame. He's now running for a fire extinguisher and I'm trying not to bust out laughing too much. _____ From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Barnes Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 9:02 AM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: Friday Heart Attack Did you have foil safari hat on you big game hunter you?

It is a 6" bent plastic tube where you put the peanut butter bait in one end and there is a little door on the other end that you open and it has these little legs that hold the door open. When the mouse goes inside his weight tilts the trap and the little door closes. You can then take the mouse somewhere else and let it go or kill it, whatever. Well, it is balanced pretty delicately so it will close itself from the wind and stuff. So I have checked about 5 times and it has been empty. "This thing doesn't work" I say. This morning, I am barely out of bed, I get my coffee and go out to the deck. Oh yeah, there's that trap. I bend over and pick it up. I open the little door to look inside. THE GODDAM MOUSE LEAPS OUT AND RUNS DOWN MY #%*^#%^* ARM! I freak out entirely, coffee everywhere. Nowhere in the instructions does it say not to hold the trap up to your face to see inside because there may be a f#%!^&@! mouse in there!!!! _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
