Embarrassing, life learning moments
This is not exactly a joke, but rather an embarrassing story that I shared with another forum I frequent so I thought I might as well share it here as well. I was working in a large office building for a major company. There were about 800 people in the building; mainly men as it was computer programming and IT support. When one of my female colleagues called me on the phone frantically asking me to come to her cube to get rid of a mouse, I happily offered to help. I found the mouse under her desk and it ran into her new leather portfolio briefcase. I picked up the case and told her I would take care of the mouse. I went into the men's room which had four stalls and a number of urinals, and as usual there were a number of guys in there using the facilities, washing hands etc. Without thinking, I went into the second stall, closed the door and plopped the mouse into the toilet and flushed it. In about 2 seconds, the mouse popped back up and was paddling around so I said "Stay down there you little S&#T. This happened three times and I repeated that somewhat unfortunate phrase each time until I noticed that the men's room had gone dead silent. I thought about how my statement must have sounded to the other guys in the men's room, none of whom I knew. They must have figured that some guy had finally lost it and started talking to his turds. I waited in the stall for about 10 minutes to let the men's room empty out and then I eased my way out, hoping to avoid anyone who had heard me. There were three guys pretending to read the bulletin board outside the men's room, but I knew that they were waiting to see the "Turd Whisperer". Not the greatest moment in my career.

Re: Embarrassing, life learning moments
You shouldn't have flushed a live mouse. That's really cruel. If anything give it a sharp blow to the back of the head, then flush it.

Re: Embarrassing, life learning moments
At least I wasn't alone in finding it disgusting that someone would rather kill something by trying to repeatedly flush it alive then trying to let it go somewhere.

i also dont see the reasoning behind killing something unless there is a viable purpose. like you were going to feed it to a snake, and even then the most humane way of doing that is to just break its neck, dies instantly. whereas drowning is a painful and cruel way to die. even some of the most disgusting animals on this earth dont deserve a painful death.

Re: Embarrassing, life learning moments
Actually drowning isn't very painful.

I saw something on history channel not too long ago about drowning. 5 steps. & it sure didn't sound like a walk in the park.
*The first stage is surprise, there is no screaming or yelling and the victim is afraid...they are in a near vertical position...
*The 2nd stage is involuntary breath holding, they are now below the water and the body involuntary closes the epiglottis which closes the airways...
*Next the person becomes unconscious, the body shuts down from lack of oxygen..the body sinks either rapidly or slowly depends on conditions,
*Next is the stage of convulsions...there may be violent jerking or convulsions of the body, due to the fact of lack of oxygen, then they may go rigid...
*Next is death.. the person actually goes into cardiac arrest
