Subject: RE: Mouse on the Barroom Floor
Hmmmm, a soused mouse ... the stuff that legends and folk tunes are made of.

My son just returned from a 2-year sojourn in England. He tended bar in a pub and tells of a mouse that came out at 10: pm every night to drink up beer spillage. The mouse would not move, even when threatened by a broom-wielding Canadian lad and would stay until it had its fill.
