When I worked in grocery stores in 1953, a customer brought back a FULL bottle of Pepsi with a mouse in the bottom. They used to wash & reuse bottles, and I guess mice don't wash out on automatic....

sure...like your mouse, he crawled in an empty, then went to the wash/refill cycle, and was missed.

I wish *I* had kept the thing.

In that case, tippsy would be a good name. Tipper? Sipper?

Years ago my sister found an empty old jug; it looked kind of like a moonshine jug. It was up in the mountains where there had been a lot of mining in the 1870s-90s.

Anyway, she got a hose and started washing it out. I wasn't there, but she said the first time she poured out the water, a dead mouse came out with it. Filling it several times, again, each time a mouse would come out with the water. If I remember rightly, it had 6-7 mice in it!

The classic English legal case on negligence involves someone finding a part-decomposed snail in a ginger-beer bottle. In those days the bottles were opaque, so they didn't discover it until they'd already drunk the ginger beer.

Actually, once when I was camping I was pouring out my morning cup of tea when a snail fell out of the kettle into my cup. It must have crawled into the kettle during the night. I wouldn't have minded, but it was my second cup of tea.

The only thing worse than finding a worm in your apple is....finding half a worm in your apple.

I once found a spider in THE LAST GLASS of a bottle of Scotch. I complained and they gave me a couple of bottles.
Seems that they bottle it outside Scotland, and blow out the bottles to displace wee intruders, but in this case, not hard or long enough.
Not a Scottish spider, who wandered far away....and sojered far away...
Green bottle. The spider was sterilised, anyway.

I just opened a beer bottle, and found beer inside!! Isn't that remarkable?

At our local set-dance venue on of the elderly musicians described a very mannered and showy dancer as dancing like 'a mouse in a bottle'.
He also described a not-so-skilful dancer's efforts like 'trying to back a bullock through a gate'.

My uncle found a mouse in a bottle of Coke. It was pre-lawsuit days so all he got was a replacement bottle of Coke. I found a rusty nail in a bottle of orange soda so I didn't open it.

Still grossed out by the guy who found a mouse in his McRib by biting its head off and coughing it out on the table.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

the classic english legal case is donahue vs stevenson or m'alistar v stevenson and it was not an english case it was a scottish case that went to the british house of lords judicial committee for final appeal . as such it became english as well as scottish law. the case introduced the scottish principle called the neighbourhood principle into english law. this principle, which comes from old gaelic brehon law, states we owe a duty of care for our neighbours based on the standard of what a reasonable peron would think the duty should be. this begins negligence law in english common law. prior to that english law had only intentional torts. after this case you get negligent torts and all the amblunance chasers that come after that.

so here's to ancient brehon law in the modern world

You could really fuck with the mouse's head by slipping a ship into the bottle while he's drunk.
Then, when he wakes up and sees the ship, he'll go "Oh shit! I've been shanghaied!"

Mice in a Bottle

If I could place mice in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to drop a few slugs, and some bugs,
and a snail or two, in your favorite brew

But there never seem to be enough mice
To add a prize to every glass of porter
I've goofed around enough to know
The patience of the cops is growing shorter

If I had a box for detritus
And things for beer drinkers to chew
The box would be empty as soon as I filled it
Cos that's just what I like to do

(repeat chorus)

O..O

Jim would have said it Sort'a like:

"Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I found a mouse in my stein"

Ahhh... "Mouse in..." I still remember a tale from my younger days. I have never known whether it was genuine or a bit of an urban legend, but...

I am a native of East Ham, and (being, at core, a headbanger) my regular used to be The Ruskin Arms, the biggest pub on the local Heavy Metal circuit, particularly associated with Iron Maiden (on almost all of their first half-dozen albums, if you look carefully, you will find in the artwork some version of a Ruskin Arms sign). Allegedly, somewhere on what would have been my walk to the pub; had I gone up Burges Road, turned past the tube station, and walked up High St. North, which I never did cos I went round the back way; was a Chinese takeaway. One poor unfortunate punter bit into a pie purveyed by said establishment, found a mouse tail (or something mousey, I forget the exact anatomy), and duly complained to The Authorities. The hygiene people duly raided the place... and found greyhound carcasses in the freezer!

Needless to say, the Chinese was suddenly out of business... ;-) I just wish the little bastard indiscriminately crapping round my place at the moment would eat enough of the nice Rodine I carelessly keep leaving lying around to die!
