Make Sure It's Dead First


Fort Sumner, New Mexico

There is a moral to this story, and a question: Can terrorrists be lightly dealt with?
A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.

Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it. "I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.

Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.
The home was destroyed fully. Nacodoches has been experiencing dry weather and has been under threat of more raging wildfires.

I thought that was the funniest story I've read in weeks. Of course, the sherrif's deputy being manhandled by a pack of voracious chihuahuas still takes top prize!

Yes, the chihuahuas story is funny. But not to everyone. My daughter when she was 7 was bit savagely by a chihuahua; and developed a fear of dogs. To get her over her fear, I got her involved with dog trainers and groomers. She's a master with dogs. But! Yes, the littler dogs can be truly mean. And they can get right at your ankles, and bite hard!

The mouse that roared. Can you imagine? lol
