(This one's for J Zep and Heather):

A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors.

His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet. After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.

As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher and dumping the husband out.

He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

Still having a bad day? Just remember, it could be worse...

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

Still think you are having a bad day?

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

STILL think you're having a bad day?

Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly The two hopeless protesters were trampled to death.

What?! STILL having a bad day??

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

There now, feeling better?

71424 2002-08-16 04:41:00 Susan, Susan, Susan, you know when you use the fateful words: check these out (they are actual cases), that I'm going to have to do the obvious and point out this:

This laundry list of "true news stories" began circulating on the Internet during the spring of 1998. (198.64.129.160)

71427 2002-08-16 04:49:00 Where to start...

SWMBO calls ominously and I am told "the cat has carried in a mouse"

Investigating, I find a very active mouse - WHOA! its about 200mm long, teeth, long tail, angry - A rat!
I ponder how to capture it and play safe, use a Ruger P85 air pistol - blood up the wall, on the floor but a sick rat.

Toss it outside, clean up, go outside - its recovered so dispatch it with a hammer.

Distribute last of rat poison.
Buy 2.5 kG bucket of rat poison.

2 days later SWMBO finished breakfast and - WHATS THAT UNDER THE TABLE! is heard.

Another rat but el morte this time (cats again)

Meanwhile the smorgasbord in the sheds continue, the distance they are prepared to travel for bait is reducing, so they appear to be weakening and living under the granary floor.

Reminds me of the time our little hunter caught a BIG rat down in the compost bin . Imagine the shock I got when I whipped open the kitchen blinds one morning to see her sitting smugly on the kitchen window ledge outside with it alongside her (dead, fortunately) .

I don't know how she managed to get the huge thing up on the high kitchen windowsill but she was so proud of it that she had to show it to us .

Just as well we had no cat door or it would have joined me in my bed, I'm sure . As it was, she only put me off my breakfast .

godfather, there will be plenty more cuzzies where your one came from . Keep the bait handy . ;-)

You see there's your problemn, a P85 has just got no stopping power. We've got a rat problem in Mt Eden, and I find that this is by far the best optionfor getting rid of the pexky brutes:
