    Nice! Many years ago when Trump Tower first opened in NYC, friends of mine took their kids to the Big City and they played around inside Trump Tower...their wee kid, maybe five or so, managed to get her jacket sucked into the handrail mechanism, and she was lifted off the ground and ascended the escalator on the outside of the apparatus, up up and away! She was half way up (a loooong way) before they could catch up to her and haul her onto the correct side and yank free her jacket.
    Yokel tourists!

    that's why they only cost about a buck. Each Fall I buy the (mouse) Family Pack, one year I nabbed about 25 in my garage, I think they had a four room condo in my wood pile.

    Look, man. It’s low brow humor but it’s a universally dire situation that most of us have been in at one time or another. Compound that over 7 years of daily comtuting and people start to lose hope.

    Comtuting was a nice choice.

    Every year I bring a portion of the outside woodpile into my basement wood box, and in so doing I almost always come across elaborate mouse nests...but I can't get a dime out of 'em...

    I've thought about cats but don't want to deal with the litter box. Was hoping the cats on each side of my townhouse would be enough but they haven't been - or they are chasing them all my way.

    Had this issue a few years ago. Came home to find the trap inside the kitchen door flipped over. Was preparing to face the battle of getting rid of it using a gardening fork with a 3 foot handle. Turned over the trap to see no mouse. Back went the gardening fork. Closed the kitchen door to find the mouse, sans trap, behind the door. Back I go for the gardening fork. I flip the mouse into the middle of the garage, thinking I would have Nephew Alex or BiL Alan get rid of it the next day. Couldn't stand the thought of it out there so, using 3 flips with the gardening fork, I moved that critter out of the garage, to the street, and then into the arborvitae at the end of the street, where NA and BiLA had been getting rid of any prior dead mice. I just crossed my fingers that none of the neighbors were looking out their windows to see the crazy lady flipping a dead mouse at midnight.

    So, you have a dead mouse graveyard?

    All this escalator talk reminds me of my favorite comedian, God rest his soul, Mitch Hedberg.

    An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

    Well, in my case, the trap was GONE. Had to hunt it down, thinking I would find a live mouse dragging a trap around by it's tail. Instead I found a live mouse with the trap across it's neck. No idea how it survived. I am probably offending animal lovers right now, but hey, I tried to end it quickly.

    I love animals. They're delicious.

    yeah, i've had chipmunks and squirrels drag the traps around, not ideal at all.

    I never went to check - I just assumed something came along and removed the dead ones. I am positive they are not buried underneath my Korean tombstone - it's in the back yard.

    How about a swamp ape? Ever had one of those in your trap?
