I just SHOT an intruder!
Yep...I did. I just shot an intruder. He had barged into our home uninvited, quietly, intending to rob us. And me...a long-time Christian guy...I didn't think twice about pulling the trigger... 
It had been a quiet evening. I was on the computer, and my wife was cleaning in the kitchen. Suddenly....
" EEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEE!" BUD-----DEEEEEEE!" EEEeeeEEEEEeeeeEEEEEEEE!!!! BUD------DEEEEEEE! EEEEooooEEEEEeeeee!" My wife came running hysterically into the room, looking over her shoulder. I jumped up from my chair, and said "what's wrong? What is it? What? What?" " A m-m-m-MOUSE! It jumped out at me!" she said quavering, sobbing and crying, with tears running down her face.
With great effort, I stifled the spontaneous snicker that had begun in me, (although it must have shown on my face) and walked briskly into the kitchen, while my wife stood fearfully in the corner of the computer room. I asked "ok...so where did you last see it? "In-in-in-the p-p-p-pantry, on the f-f-floor.....it jumped at me!" "Don't worry....I'll get it" I said bravely, trying to sound and look like a comic-book hero.
Quickly I reasoned "hmmm...if I don't find and get this stupid mouse, then NEITHER one of us is gonna get any sleep tonight...my wife will make sure I don't! Either that, or I'm gonna have to take her to a hotel for the night...."
Briefly, I considered the old 22 rifle leaning in the corner of the back room. "naw...way overkill....and I would have to patch the hole in the floor...what else can I use?" I was thinking of fashioning a club of some sort when I spied the pellet rifle...
"Puh-thwap.....tink!" went the pellet gun, as the pellet bounced off the wall. The mouse kicked, twitched, and was still. "GOT IT!" I said victoriously to my wife! "Ooohhhh-YECK! What are you going to do with it?.....ICK!!!" she said. "Uh.....I'm gonna give it to the CAT!" With a paper towel, I picked up the little brown body and took it outdoors, where the cat was. Of course, "Mr CAT" was happy with the unexpected prize.
Yep...my wife has a phobia. Anything little, alive, brown, with beady little eyes...loose in the house, is reason enough to plunge into full-blown terror.
I am a hero....again... 
Sheesh!

Do you make house calls?
I'll be moving into an unknown house in Angoon and won't be surprised if there are intruders!!
Love you post, BTW.  |

Awesome!! My wife took my $20 electronic mouse trap and threw it in the box with the misc. computer junk. When I told her what it was and it probably had a dead mouse in it she freaked. .

be careful dont let ACLU know. his relatives could be looking for a lawyer right now.
the irreversable damage and trauma done to the entire family. also he was only lost and trying to find his own home. he had level 3 diabetes and was in a state of disorientation.
and because of your innate hatred of his breed you viciously and with premeditation murdered him in what he thought was his own home. how could you. the outrage. also your wifes screams were another act of barbarous discrimination against his culture.

Good - my husband says I have a mouse phobia just because I'm scared to death of them and can't stand them!! Glad to hear I'm not the only woman who is afraid of them and hates them lol, and glad you got the little sucker.
