[at-l] Mice...and now a rat story!-off topic guys

[atrailhiker@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Marsha)]

Once I was painting a ceiling in a warehouse-I was up on a tall ladder
because the ceiling was 20 ft high, when I noticed this rat walking around
the floor. I dropped some blue paint down on him just to be funny. That
night I set a trap for him. The next day, I found some fur in that rat trap,
but no RAT! The next night, I was up on that ladder, and what did I see? A
nasty rat with blue spots, and it's head skinned! I still have nightmares
over that one.
