Funny story.
We occasionally get mice at our 100 year old Oakland home.
Dee Dee sets these 'humane' traps around. Little plastic mouse houses where the door shuts behind them when they enter.
I usually take these mice to my office complex and release them far from any buildings. This one time, I forgot to release it and left it in the car. Dee Dee asked me to give it some food and send it on its way. I collected the trapped mouse from the car and took it inside. I opened the tiny door and attempted to give it some dried banana. Of course it jetted past my hand and leapt to freedom.
CUT TO: 2 days later
Mouse poop is discovered by the coffee maker.
Exterminators are called. Sticky (inhumane) traps are laid and rodent infestation fears run high.
No mouse is ever caught and yours truly keeps his mouth shut.
