80-Year-Old Woman Knocks Rat Unconscious
Thu Oct 16, 9:52 AM ET

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A supermarket rat that had dodged a number of
poison traps got its comeuppance when an 80-year-old shopper knocked
it unconscious after it tried to steal her cheese, a Belgian daily
said Thursday.


The rat had been hiding in the supermarket for a month, but staff
attempts to trap the rodent had repeatedly failed.

The woman told the daily Gazet Van Antwerpen how she suddenly felt a
sharp pain in her hand after picking up a pack of cheese at the
supermarket just outside Brussels.

"A rat the size of my hand was hanging on my finger," she told the
newspaper.

"I grabbed the rat with my other hand and smacked it on the floor.
The animal was on the floor, completely knocked unconscious."

Okay, you Jersey folks need to consider the horrible ramifications of
cheeseracing. JugglerMouse and I sent you the CheeseRacing Ballot Box
on Tuesday. You may use both stamps (Go CheeseRacing! & St. Brie) in
your log books; however, you need to stamp either the Go CheeseRacing
side (if you are a degenerate who cares nothing about rodents and
little Belgium ladies) or side with the saints and stamp in on the
St. Brie side.

St. Brie is depicted in her martyrdom, toasting on a gridiron. Brie
was a companion to St. Lawrence and chose to follow him into the fire
rather than obey her father and take up the pagan and demonic
practice of "la frommage fumer." This lovely and horrific image will
be sure to adorn any small tryptich or icon collection in your home
or business. Make sure that when the final accounting comes due in
the cheeseshop of life, your name (or personal stamp) is registered
with the angels.

Yours for an unbiased voting,
Sir Balthazar, Order St. Brie
