"Timmy, I have six mouse traps how do you bait them?"

The question was for my specific way of baiting a mouse trap.

"I use mostly peanut butter but they can lick the peanut butter right off that metal thing so I always use a bit of bread as well".

"Oh, I always use bacon".

There is no way in Hell I'm going to bait a mouse trap with meat but I try to be gentle so I say "Well, I usually don't have bacon on hand but I always have peanut butter and bread."

"Oh, okay. Do you want to do it then".

I hung my head because I think I was just played but it's better that I bait the traps than the owner's 78 year old aunt so I say "I'll do it".

So add that to the things I need to do tonight. I bet I forget the peanut butter and the bread.
