Gun Fun - Bowling Pins

O.K. so everybody is familiar with a bowling pin shoot, so forget about that part. The fun part is when a new box of pins is brought out and is discovered to include a large nest of mice.

One drops the box, and attempts to step on the first mouse to run out. As more and more mice flee the demolition of their condo, more and more of the match participants join in the ceremonial mouse dance which involves 6-8 grown men with firearms on their belts dancing from one foot to another in an attempt to land on a rapidly scurrying field mouse.

There were about 8 mice in the box and they tended to run out one at a time, prolonging the festivities. Fortunately no one there had a video camera.

There are snakes under the shed, which we all root for, and whom all likely suffer from morbid obesity by the end of summer. Unfortunately, it's too early for them to be active, and the mice have no trouble at all out-reproducing the snakes.

And before anyone breaks out in a fit of sympathy for the cute little fuzzy mice, just take a zen meditative stance and repeat to yourself: Mmmmmmmm Hanta.
