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

Then just be happy they don't turn out in your kitchen as that happened to me once.
