Embarrassing, life learning moments

[kelzerman]

I use to work at a restaurant back in the day. I caught a mouse crawling on the side of the building. After tormenting the manager at the time I took it to the dumpster for a quick death.

It didn't die.. it is now in the land of the underworld with the many more mice that thrive down there.

*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

Once you pass out you don't feel pain. Secondly it doesn't hurt to inhale water. What hurts is holding your breath and forcing water out of your lungs once they drag uou put of the water.

Hmm, wild mouse in someones briefcase in an office somewhere. I know I sure wouldn't handle the darn thing, not about to chance a bite and catch who knows what. You let it go outside and it'll come right back in. And between drowning and the poisons that are usually put out for them I'd think the drowning would be the better option. You do what you have to in the situation your in.
