Mouse crush

Hi all
Just thought I'd share this with you all....A few years ago I had a lady friend who worked behind the bar at a local night club, once or twice a week I used to go and collect her from work. This night I arrived a little early and went down to the basement dance area where she was serving and ordered myself a drink. Another lady who knew me asked if i would come and sort a problem for her in the back room , on going in there she told me there was a mouse caught in a trap and it wasnt dead, she asked if I could get rid of it for her and returned to the bar. On examination the mouse was caught by the leg and not moving much I released it from the trap and holding it between finger and thumb went back in the bar "where do you want this " i asked, "go and throw it out the emergency door" i was told which was across the other side of the basement. Crossing the busy dance floor I just couldnt resist dropping it right there in the middle, ( 90% of the dancer were girls aged 20-30 ) I carried on to the door and pretended to throw it out. I knew no one had seen me drop it as was very dark. Back at the bar I carried on with my drink scouring the floor all the time but I couldnt see the mouse. At closing time the lights came on and everyone left the floor, I looked over to where I dropped it and couldnt believe what I saw...it was in three pieces and they were all paper thin, the pieces must have been danced on hundreds of time and no one knew they had done it. Talking with the staff as they collected the glasses I found they had a real mouse problem so I offerd to bring in some humane traps that catch the mouse and not kill it. Over the next few weeks I always made sure I got there early and on the pretext of checking the traps would get a mouse and drop it on the floor learning just where to place it so there was enough light for me to see the action, I can tell you I had some great fun watching, a few escaped but most were squished beyond recognition, one I saw meet its end was by a quite heavy girl in a pair of black suede platform boots with a 5" heel that was quite thin, I saw her step back and the heel flatened the mouses head, and as she stepped forward the mouse stuck to the heel for a second then dropped off. I'm sure the mice didnt mind giving me this pleasure as they were going to die anyway. Hope you enjoy this little tale
