The wrong way to kill a mouse
FORT SUMNER, N.M. - A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.
“I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house,” Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
[…] No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
Update: If you can't trust the Associated Press, who can you trust? Turns out the whole thing was bullshit. This is the part where I tell you that it sounded fishy to me and I knew it all along.
