    Re: What's the biggest rookie mistake you've made?

It was my sisters birthday the following day so I left a note on the big pile of plastic wrapped dead rats 'Happy Birthday'-I knew it would totally gross her out. What I didn't know that my sisters fiancées parents were visiting later that day, and all they saw was a big white object in the fridge with a note and immediately thought I had gotten her a decorated cake. When they took it out of the refrigerator to take a look they saw the red eyes and when they realized what it was-dropped it on the floor in shock and dead rats and coagulated blood scattered everywhere.

    All I heard were grown adults screaming in terror.

    Anyhow, I don't thaw out as many rodents now at once. (I prefer live)

    My now Brother-in-laws mother refers to me as 'The Rat Bastard'.
    That last comment makes this the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while!
