To Kill A Pooping Mouse

There is a mouse in my office somewhere. It did it’s biznaz on the bosses desk. All over his desk. A few times.

So the boss brought in a mouse trap and set it up. We found some of the food eaten each day for a couple of days but the trap never sprung. Today I tried to spring it myself with a pen and it required a TON of force. The mouse would have to do a all over the mouse trap with a tribal drum accompaniment to set it off. I probably had to apply 5 lbs of pressure to the trap to make it spring. That’s like the weight of a small rat.

I bent the catch back a little and gave it a proper hair trigger now. We’ll see if we have some proper results on Monday. Nothing like a rotting mouse corpse over the weekend to spice up work.

    Just bring one or more of your kitties into the office. The mouse problem will disappear.

    I doubt your place of employee with enjoy the fact you’re bring a cat into work. Can you claim it’s a “seeing-eye-cat”? They understand that for puppies.

    That’s what I said. Bring a kitty to the office. Problem solved.

    I vote that when/if the mouse homicide is completed, we need to have visual evidence posted here. With a sign.

    5 mice were killed in a neighboring office via sticky mouse trap death. I think that our critter may have been one of them. Or else he doesn’t really like cheese anymore.
