About two months ago
My friend Patricia
bought a can of spinach
and to her surprise a mouse was inside
the store apologized and said they were sorry
and took the other cans off the rack
so the warehouse could check and track

while eating dinner last night
the doorbell rang
the UPS man standing there
handed her a package..
Said "handle with care"

she slid in her hand
and pulled out the dead mouse
she gagged from the terrible smell
and ran in and vomited
it was the mouse from hell
the one who loves spinach

she doesn't know why the lab
sent it to her
instead of the grocery store
but she knows one thing
she's not shopping there anymore

she called the store again
and they said "we will come get it"
she said "OH NO YA WON'T
the MOUSE is mine now"

so the mouse is in her freezer
for safe keeping
I wonder why? *wink*

Wow ... there's something you don't hear of happening often (and that's a good thing!) Like how you handled this.
