Of mice and veg (oil)

[Apache]

Did an oil change at work this lunchtime. Looking for a container for the waste oil, I remembered I'd put a couple of empty 20 litre veg oil containers in a storage room. I found them, and one looked quite dirty as I'd left the cap off. Perfect!

I grabbed it and took it outside to where I'd put the can with the waste in. Looking into the container, there were two mice corpses! Lots of mice poo indicated they'd been in there for some time. The poor little bu99ers had probably smelt the dregs of oil and thought they'd climb in and investigate, then found they couldn't get out.

Of course, I buried them with dignity (under 3" of waste oil)

I can just imagine it...

"Hey, stop chewing that cable, come and see what I'VE found!"

Can imagine them in there...

"Oh... shit..."

or

"DONT YOU JUMP IN AS WELL!!! ... Oh... thats... just... great!"

Hey Apache,

Reminds me of when I was a kid and our beloved hamster escaped. We could not find him anywhere, and we all looked - 4 brothers and my sister - nope - gone.

Then weeks later, my mother emptied a pot of wall paper paste (who knows why she had kept this ???) into the sink to get rid.

And who, very VERY large indeed, whould plop out into the sink - yup - Hammy.

Can you imagine his last little last gasps as he sunk into that paste?

I'm over it now, honest...............

I used to stash empty veg oil cans in my shed until I had a few and then take them to the tip. The mice always used to try to chew their way in through the plastic cap. They chewed my funnel to pieces too. I set some live traps in the end and over a period of a couple of weeks I caught 20 mice and 1 shrew (I think he'd heard about the mice parties). I used to open the shed door and it would all go quiet as the mice froze, ha ha. I got quite attached to their little antics and too soft to kill them with kill traps or poison, I kept having to release them in the fields out the back, far enough away I thought, but it was probably the same ones coming back all the time! In the end I just had to get rid of the containers as soon as I'd used them, cut off the "party juice" supply.
