Mouse Sets House On Fire

[Mercer Boy]

Forget "Stop, Drop, and Roll" if you're a mouse...you just run like hell and get revenge!

FORT SUMNER, N.M. - A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.

Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.

"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.

Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.

No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.

Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 53,000 acres and destroyed 10 homes in southeastern New Mexico in recent weeks.

"I've seen numerous house fires," village Fire Department Capt. Jim Lyssy said, "but nothing as unique as this one."

Haha, that is awesome! If you're going to die anyways, may as well take out your enemy. Hammy would be so proud.

Dumbass!

Dumbass!

Seriously, if you're gonna kill it...just kill it the right way. That was rather sadistic, throwing it into a burning fire like that, he almost deserved seeing his home burn to the ground.

Wow that sucks. I guess that guy learned his lesson.

Mouse: "Would you want to be thrown into a fire sucka?! I"LL SHOW YOU JAHAA."

I bet the mouse survived too.

Haha, there was a kid we called "Mighty Mouse" on my pop warner football team. We called him that cause he was really small but made every tackle.

haha, we had a guy like a year or two ago who we called something like the Bull Wrestler or something, cause he was small and lots of times would like jump on players backs to tackle them, it was hilarious to watch.

getting back on topic...

thats a hilarious story MB, stupid mistake by the guy, and sometimes you have to wonder about animals, if they do things on purpose or just out of natural instincts.

thats awesome....what an idiot....

[Tiki]

Are you really stupid for thrwoing a tiny animal into a flame? I mean why you would a animal into a fire is beyond me, just stomp the thing or something. But I don't think the guy is an "idiot" it's just a stroke of bad luck.
