A couple of days ago right when I was leaving for work, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and then saw it again. It was a small dark blob moving at an extremely high rate of speed behind the stereo and then bookcase. I assumed a mouse but I wasn’t sure because I didn’t think they were able to move at warp speed.
I admit, I’m a big softie so I bought those kind of traps where the mouse is caught alive and then after you catch him, you open the trap and release him into your neighbor's garage because you resent his noisy oil-less compressor.
My mouse managed to eat all the bait in three traps without the trap door closing until finally at the fourth trap, the door was closed. I picked it up and by the weight, there obviously was no mouse inside. I had met the enemy, and the enemy was the Houdini of Mice.
Well, I had been pushed. It was about time somebody taught this mouse a little lesson about morality and about what it's like to be a decent, upstanding member of a society! Come to Karl, mouse. -- I guess we're playing for keeps now. I guess the kidding around is pretty much over. I guess it's just a matter of setting about five thousand neck snapping traps to teach you a little bit of a lesson. Is that it? I think it is!
I caught the little shit FINALLY.
So if you're crashing on my floor over the festivities weekend and you feel something furry on you during the night, it’s probably OcCoupe or ElGuappo rather than a mouse
Chuckie’s ProTip® #236: Wear an Australian Bush Hat when setting traps and make sure the side brim is in the snapped up position. It shows the mouse you mean business.
Chuckie’s ProTip® #141: Put the bait in the trap BEFORE you set the spring arm thingy.
Fart, piss shit..OK.
Oops wrong picture^^^^^^^^ That's Ahab not the translator.
