Friday the 13th!

It might be Friday the 13th if your husband has to tear apart the entire car (literally - the seats, the console, the dash board, the crash pad, and a plethera of screws, wires, and bolts are decorating the garage floor) to find a dead rat that's been stuck in there for a week and is REEKING like a rotted grave and then has to pry it out with your favorite salad tongs.


(wish I had pictures to share, but Joel took the camera to work to prove to his boss that he really did need the morning off to get a dead rat out of his car)

Well, at your expense Richard and I have spent the last 5 minutes laughing our heads off at the last two posts. Ok, we think someone had to of stuck that rat in Joel's car as a joke. Only now they aren't talking since it got a little serious....huh? Ewww, so creepy.

Gross. Sorry about that. can we still be friends if we planted the rat as a joke? Ha ha ha. Aren't we funny.

Now that is one excuse I bet no one has used for getting out of work. "I can't come in today because I have to find the dead rat in my car."

Did he get the car bac together?

That's really nasty! It reminds me of a dead, bloated toad my comp and I found in our apartment in Argentina. It took us a while figure out the rotten smell wasn't coming from "inside" the fridge, but "under" it. Say hi to Joel for me. I served with him in Barrio San Martin. Good to be in touch!

Glad you finally got it out. By the way, how does one get a rat in their car in the first place?

Oh, I am so sorry to hear about all that, but the way you told about it really made me laugh! Also, Faith liked to see the rat pictures!
