Oh, Rats!!

[southerngale]

You've heard the phrase "raining cats and dogs," but I bet you've never heard of a "rat shower." Well, that's just what one Bronx woman got when her bathroom ceiling collapsed and released a pile of debris, dirty water and a half-dozen wet rats on her as she showered. According to the woman's lawyer, David Lesch, the rats ended up dead in the tub after either drowning or hitting the ground headfirst. The woman, who was not identified, collected a $65,000 settlement check from the rodent shower. Now that the check has been cut, "she's hoping she can afford another place," her lawyer said.

yahr. that gave me freakin chills. Damn, I remember when I was a little kid my father told a snake bit a woman who was going to the bathroom. I could never sit on the seat right after that one.

AAHHHHHGGGGGGGGG

Yucko!

Back home, Mambas, in particular black mambas have the habit of curling up in the outdoor toilets at bush camps.... not to mention nice big spiders. Going to the lav is always an adventure, in fact I give crocodile-dundee a run for his money with all the gear I take on an expedition to the late night latreen.

I can handle inspecting the latrine for creatures. I dreaded the walk to a from the latrine. I watched too many vampire movies. I was walking back from the latrine and a bat got caught in my hair. It was so soft, but looking into that creepy face freaked me out.

When I was growing up (mid-late 1960's), my grandmother in rural Tennessee still had an outdoor bathroom...and for some reason, black widow spiders liked to spin webs right under the toilet seat.

Even though we only visited her once or twice a year, I was very thankful once she had indoor plumbing installed

I'd take a rat shower for $65,000.
