For years I thought that mouse traps caught mice by their tails and then when you found it in the trap you would set the mouse free outside.
Thank you Tom and Jerry and various other cartoons.
Also mouse related-mom had a plumber and his teenage assitant come to help her with something-they found a mouse trap downstairs-the younger guy set it off and got freaked out-mom told me that the plumber told him not to worry-as mice have no teeth. He also said that mice are boneless and that is why the can wiggle around so fast.
Oh yeah-Mom must have cracked up because she works with mice.
