Bloody mice.
As if it was trying to live up to the reputation for wacky japes set by cartoon mice, a non-cartoon mouse has been taunting an old man in America and stealing his dentures. 68-year-old Bill Exner, from Waterville in Maine, has been plagued by the mouse for some time now. Three times he has captured it, only for it to escape three times, like the A-Team. The third time he tried to incarcerate it, it not only escaped, but also ran off with his lower dentures.
The false teeth were eventually recovered after the family had to pull apart a section of the wall that had a small mouse hole in it. Exner said: ‘We moved the bed, moved the dressers and the night stand and tore the closet apart. I said, “I knew that little stinker stole my teeth” – I just knew it.’
Now Exner’s wife Shirley claims that the mouse is upping the level of psychological warfare against her husband. She says that the mouse will regularly emerge from its hiding place to stare out her husband. She commented: ‘He’s taunting him – I swear he’s taunting him.’
The mouse was unavailable for comment.
You can’t beat a nice bit of mouse thievery.
