Oh... You hold the mouse with the tongs. See, I read it that you held it with your hand. OK..! See, that I have no issue with. Your hand is out of the way.. it is similar to the metal antenna that I use to hold a rat's jaws away if need be while the snake constricts (but less "redneck" than my antenna) We country folk tend to improvise once in awhile.. hence, the baling-twine curtain-holders..
I think that we are on the same page now.
LOL yes. no hands.
and hey, im country folk too! and have improvised in the past. Wooden spoons and spatulas and other such things are not uncommon tools when one is in need!
