We just go around looking for rats to kill all day and night. 

Tell me, how *does* the rat patrol work? It must be working rather well, as
I've never seen one. One day, the reports on the local news had someone
breading his own to feed his snakes, and they were making a break for freedom.
As best as I can recall, that was the lead story!

The reason we have no pet fleas, is because of our lack of moisture. It took me
thirty-five years here before I saw my first wood tick in the city. That was in
a very wet year.
