Okay, I'll throw in....
Quite a few years ago I found a glue trap behind a desk at work, some wierd noises led me to it. There's a mouse stuck inside this tube thing.
Great.
I've got this little mouse stuck by three legs and his FACE to this trap. Looks awful, he's trying to pull away and it ain't working. WTF am I going to do about it? Starving to death seems shitty, but can't exactly put him in the copier and hope the toner gives him cancer to take him out. I breifly consider the microwave, it's so dirty who'd notice the dead mouse? Feed him into a computer fan? No, not enough torque. Shit, the mouse has to die soon, and I've got to do it. Isn't windex toxic? I don't know where we keep that, and a hosed down mouse doesn't seem fatal anyway. I could stab him with a pen, but I don't have the balls to stab a mouse just to watch him die. Besides, now the little fucker is LOOKING at me as he tries to pull his face off the glue. God, that looks awful....all I can think of is my pet gerbils from when I was little. Then the light bulb lit up! Suffocate him.
The trap was a triangular tube. I wrapped the whole thing tightly in duct tape. Sealed off his air supply completely, and threw him in the trash.
