I'm a Genie In a Mouse Trap, Baby!


A few days after Kevin Bacon stopped dancing, I was going through the linen cabinet. I looked down and was shocked to notice that one of my fancy traps might contain a mouse. When you set this kind of trap, you turn this dial to set the trap. The arrow on the top of the trap either points to set, not set, or full (indicating there is something in there.) The arrow indicated there might be something in there.

I dared not pick it up. I knew the minute I picked it up and it felt heavy I would drop it in horror and the mouse would fly out and land on me.

I made Matt investigate the trap instead. Sure enough, an easier way to find out a mouse is in there is by smelling it and boy, was it ripe, according to Matt.

I have to admit I was enormously pleased that one of my fancy traps managed to nab one of the a-holes. Mwahahahaha.

Matt's next joke, which I won't get into, resulted in the naming of the little beast: Genie

Except in this case you can't get the genie to come out by rubbing the outside of the container because it's dead. Oh and this genie probably won't grant you three wishes because it's dead.
