BIO 101

After the massacre last Friday, we've never seen a mouse being caught in the sticky traps again… until today. I knew that the mice would become smarter and tried to avoid the mousetraps from now on. As a matter of fact, it seemed that some mice had no fear at all and just ran across our desks in daytime. Anyway, this morning another mouse was trapped but this time on a piece of old sticky sheet which was stuck under a garbage can accidentally and hasn't been removed for a long time. Apparently, it still worked and didn't lose any of its stickiness. Similar to last time, the mouse was alive kicking its legs and tried to escape, and once again, we covered a "coffin cover" i.e. another mousetrap on it. But here came the question as the old mousetrap was stuck to the garbage can so tight that we couldn't remove it. We tried to put the sandwiched mouse inside a large envelope and placed it on the floor. Then we stepped on the envelope and pulled the garbage can in hope of unsticking the old mousetrap. Yes, we succeeded and something was being separated… the mouse body… We actually separated the "coffin cover" with the majority of the mouse from the old sticky sheet in which the mouse's left hand and leg remained on it. What the hell!? At last, we needed to put another piece of paper over the old sheet and did the same thing again to remove it. It's disgusting and sucked. The only thing I could assure was that that this mouse was either dead or at least disabled and definitely couldn't flee from any garbage bag we put it into…

P.S. Seriously, the mouse wasn't scary. Your scream was more frightening to me!
