Lightning Fast

Crumby once had a crumby job (is there any other kind) where one of the skills was to snatch birds out of thin air. Course Crumby and the birds were both enclosed in a pen. Therefore, even if Crumby missed his marks, eventually the birds would tire out and get caught. Monkey perserverance is a terrible thing!

But take note, thin air. The birds we are discussing were not pedestrian birds such as chickens. No. We are talking three dimensional bird snatching.

With that kind of historical experience under his belt, it's no wonder Crumby can catch rodents with his bare hands. Well. Generally Crumby wears gloves for rodent catching. But he could catch them bare handed. The fact is, bare handed would be easier except for the possibility of prhss. That's post rodent handling stress syndrome (prhss) in case you don't know what the heck Crumby is discussing here.

OK. Crumby needs to catch rodents because the cat brings the rodents into the CB to play with. But then the mouse or rat escapes temporarily. The cat goes to sleep. So up until just a while ago, we had one wild mouse and one wild rat in the CB. Yet Crumby, aided by the cat, just caught the mouse. Now we are down to one rat in the house. One rodent in the house at one time is fairly OK compared to larger numbers of rodents in the house. We can live with one.
