Rats are actually kind of cute. It's the plague and rabies that I find objectionable.

I was at the Ozark Hilton once and a mouse ran out from under my futon, right between my legs. Almost immediately a rat bounded out after him! Right between my legs. I guess they eat mice.

Also, once when I was there I picked up a roll of tarpaper and felt a furry head. My tactile senses made me think of my cat Goccia, and I stroked the head before realizing my mistake. A big rat popped out, in a state of clear bafflement at being so tenderly treated by some big critter like me! It might have saved me from getting bitten.

I also suffered heart failure and I wonder if it wasn't from my intimate contact with mice and rats at the Ozark Hilton.

1 Hmmmmm. Tim, your last remark makes me wonder just how intimate the contact was.

2 Well, we weren't THAT intimate Dana!  I don't tolerate vermin spooning with me, after all...

3 I'm sure you don't. That must have been quite a surprise to you both.
