Mice overrun Fla. courthouse, fall from ceiling
From Associated Press
February 20, 2009 10:25 AM EST

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - There are so many mice in one Florida county courthouse that they've been seen falling from ceiling tiles.

One judge at the Palm Beach County Courthouse calls it an infestation. Some staffers say they check their handbags for stowaways before leaving the building each day.

Court employees and lawyers say the rodents scuttle down corridors, munch legal papers and scratch behind the walls. Last week, one mouse ran around a courtroom floor for an hour during a burglary trial.

The courthouse facilities manager says he's put out a few dozen traps to capture the rodents. He says he's not sure there has been an uptick in mice lately but says they're getting more press than they deserve.

I have a picture in my head of the scene at the beginning of Ratatouille where the old lady shoots her ceiling, and all of the rats fall out.
But this is kind of better, since it's just the occasional mouse. Maybe tinfoil hats would be helpful here too. I wouldn't want one landing on my head.

I heard this on the radio this morning. If I worked there I would seriously bring in my own mouse traps to get rid of the mice.

Sarah | 13814 comments I suppose there are worse places than a courthouse to have random rodents falling on your head.
A hospital operating room.
Air-traffic control.
An auction house...

An auction house, that would be great. What do you mean I just bought a million dollar Picasso?

I think I'd be looking for a new job.

Does this remind anyone else of that one Office episode when the snarly blonde says "there was poop falling from the ceiling. poop."




Huh. I've managed to bring this thread to poo in less than 10 posts.


message 8: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) You're a poo pro.

Atta girl Sally I knew you could do it!

RA, are you the one who finds Angela hot? (ew.)


message 14: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) He won't admit it now. Her character isn't hot, for sure.


message 15: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Especially not after last week...she's apparently a little, um, close to her cats....


message 16: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Oh yeah. ::slurp::


message 17: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments That was gross, the cat thing. It changed my perspective. But kudos to the actress for, ahem, committing to the role.


message 18: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Maybe she had a tongue double.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments ew... I'm afraid to ask, but I gotta now. The actresses tongue or the cats? ::shudder::


message 20: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Angela's. Yup.

I'm sorry, but I'm so not watching the "liking cats" link.


message 23: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Oh Sally it's funny!

Judy | 7 comments I can't believe I actually looked at the licking episode - now I can't swallow properly.


message 25: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Wow. ... um, just Wow.
That whole show just disturbs me. I can never make it through an entire episode, now I understand better why.
