One of my childhood friends lived on a pig farm.

My friend would take a long pole with a hook on it, place the hook on the beam and then run. He'd knock down a rat with each stride or two. As the rats fell his dog (fox terrier blue healer cross) would follow along and catch them mid air killing them with one bite. Dog killed maybe 25 or 30 rats in about 10 or 15 seconds.

I picked up the trap and rat (with the broomstick), threw them into a bucket and filled the bucket up with water. the damn rat treaded water with the huge trap attached. I had to push him under water. their is nothing as tough

So, now, I've got suspension parts hanging off my Jeep, and I have to wait until MrsG gets home so I can run out and buy some new tools.

Okay, so I'm really only pissed about part of this situation, but still...

Wound up shocking myself, my roomies, and various passerbys more than any mice. It's especially fun after a night of drinking and you play a more adult version of Operation.

With a part of the family living rural, i tend to know all kinds of crap like that.

I just cannot be bothered to do anything today. Too lazy to even put window washer in the car
