Oh Bert, I have a WHOLE BOOK of these!!!!! I'll have to bring it to work to post from it!! (Hey!! If I lend you the book, would I get it back?)

OK. The BEST one... there were two, but one is too cruel... OK. The one I can share is...

TO RID YOUR HOME OF RATS.

Trap a few of the rats. A dozen, we'll say. Cage them together. Provide plenty of water and NO FOOD. They will get hungry. The weakest one will be eaten. This process will continue until only a few are left. They will be quite accustomed by then to the delicious flavor of fresh meat, rat meat in particular.

When you are down to two rats, release them back into the house.

Oh! One more I can share. Ladies are advised, for their health, to spend at least an hour in their boudoir naked each day, taking the morning sun and fresh air. (Don't recall what the gents were advised. Hafta look it up.)
