more about mice

So, if you were getting something out of the dishwasher and a mouse ran across your hand INTO the dishwasher, what would you do?

Would you kill the mouse?

Would you catch the mouse and release it outside?

Would you perhaps yell for your spouse?

Or would you do this:
1) close the door of the dishwasher, trapping the mouse inside
2) start the dishwasher
3) go take a nap
4) wake up from your nap two hours later, come downstairs, see your family happily eating off of plates taken directly out of Stuart Little's Dishwasher Ride of Death, and casually announce "There's a dead mouse in the dishwasher..."?

I know which one I would have done, and I know which one my wife did today. Hint: it wasn't any of the first three.

So she must have confessed the part about seeing the mouse earlier, huh? What a great story. Just for the record I think she made the right decision since she knew that the wonderful story was much more important than her family's health.

Great Story Bryan,. I’m sure your kids will be telling their kids this one.
I was just thinking, what if the little guy would have crawled into the microwave?

I just like the title "Stuart Little's Dishwasher Ride of Death." There's a script just waiting to be written!

Thx for your comments, all.
JB, welcome and come again.
Stephanie, long time no see. If you want the rights to that script (you live in LA, don't you?), it's yours.
