Your going to love this... even though i didnt

So the brake light in my car came on today on my way to work so I brought it to the dealer. As it turns out a mouse has some how made a nest in my engine bay and chewed through the brake lines costing me $1,400 in repairs. I dont know how he could survive in there seeing how I drive 2 hours to work everyday but he has... I told them to keep the mouse because I would like to have some words with it ... dont worry im not going to kill it ill most likely keep it as a pet I guess you could look at it this way I just paid $1,400 for a mouse!

I thought my dog had expensive tastes when he ate $163 bucks off my night table, but that mouse really knows how to run up a bill!!

Maybe have him bronzed and use him as a hood ornament in place of the star

Sorry but... ya gotta laugh


Thanks for sharing
