In the late '70's, LLNL had a serious feral cat problem. They decided they wanted to do something about it, so they brought in a company that set traps, and caught over 5000 cats in a 1 sq mile area. (Live traps.)
You can guess what happened with the rodent population over the next few days.
So, upper management sponsored a competition for the "better mousetrap." Winning dept gets an all expenses paid pizza party. My guys at MFTF won. Trash basket, ruler, rubber band, bait, and a paper clip. Set it up, the mouse runs out on the ruler after the bait, the ruler imbalances and tips, and the mouse drops in the bucket. The ruler resets, ready for the next mouse. In the official competition, they caught 89 mice in 1 hour.
A few days later, some idjit put some LN in the bucket. Fine for quickly dispatching the rodent, but the dummy picks the frozen mouse out of the bucket with some tongs, and drops it to the floor.
"Hey stupid, that's gonna thaw out. Clean it up."
"Oh, (insert multiple expletives here)!"
Brilliant minds at work.
The pizza was good. :wink:
