Been busy the last few days, watering those shit Lam Yai trees...the ones that were going to provide for my retirement....ha ha ha, how my sides ache! Repairing all the pipes I keep cutting with the grass cutter.
Anyway, I find this top half of a rats skull, teeth the lot, so I take it back home, I thought, this might interest the boy, so I went for a second look, and would you believe it, I found the bottom jaw, in good condition too.
There were a few bits of decaying flesh, so I soacked it in some bleach for a few hours, out it came, nice and white, but the big long teeth fell out, and the bottom jaw fell in half, must be joined with sinews or something. (I am not a Dr)
Anyway, I glued everything in place with some of that 3 ton Epoxy, to show the kid what bones (other than KFC look like)
He comes back with his mother and I show him the rat skull, "WOW!" he says, pretty impressed!
Then the mother says "Oh, is it dead already?"
To which I made a remark that "No, it's not dead, it is simply looking for all of it's internal organs and the rest of it's body, brain and fur, and should be fine in an hour or two"
The boy looks at his mother with a strange look and asks her "Are you really that FUCKING stupid?"
I was on my back laughing....out of the mouths of babes...I know but it was so funny...I think she has given up.
