Hi Dave,


 RH> Maybe they think we only like it as ham, bacon or pork chops.

 DD> Or sausage, or ribs, or pulled pork, etc, etc, Maybe they're Jewish or
 DD> Muslim instead of being in thrall to the Pope and his minions.

 RH> At this point, it's anybody's guess.

 DD> I was being facetious.

Aren't we all at some time or other?


 DD> Did they indicate why they would be closed? It might have been a vital

 RH> At the time they said "no staff available", changed later to "family
 RH> emergency".

 DD> Might have been both. The "staffing issues" thing was quite common at

 RH> No thanks to having a real rat but pigeon would be interesting.
 RH> Could have called it "urban quail". (G)

 DD> Despite feeding on offal and garbage rats are very clean animals avows

 DD> Rats got a bad rap back in the middle ages for causing bubonic
 plague. DD> But it was their hitchhikers, the fleas, which were the
 vectore for DD> the plague.

I'd still rather have a cat or dog for pet than rat.
