Rat almost ran up my trouser leg

[NickFitz]

This is so

You think that's sick, try opening up a dogfish

Actually, I think the foulest bit was when I accidentally stuck my forceps through a mermaid's purse and all this horrid gunk poured out - something to do with baby dogfish, one presumes

(Take roe off the menu, too.)

At least mammals tend to keep all their internal bits in one place - presumably because they've been etherised in a sack rather than hauled up writhing in a net.

The day we had to dissect a frog on O-Level Biology was the day I walked out of the class, went to see the Headmaster, and said "I refuse to continue doing this subject." He let me off and it became a study period for me.

A few months later, in Art class, I got a complete slating for my composition. We had to draw a picture of a scene focussing on the natural environment.

I drew a stunning volcano in the background, with a incredible Barbarian (Think Conan / Slainé / Gor) in the foreground.

I was so upset, I went to see the Headmaster, and said "I refuse to continue doing this subject." He let me off and it became another study period for me.

When the rest of the 16 year olds were doing Art and Biology, I had a spare hour each day to catch up on the latest Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone "Fighting Fantasy" adventure book.

When I hit Sixth form for my A-Levels, we still had to do sports. One day, we were doing our regular run around the lake, whilst my best friend and I casually walked chatting at the back. We got back a half hour overdue and got a grilling.

So we both went to see the Headmaster, and said "We refuse to continue doing this pointless activity." He let us off and it became another study period.

The extra hour a day study period at A-Level was useful for a quick game of D&D in the common room.

Such happy days....

Went outside to put some bags in the bin, and a couple of rats scampered past. One brushed past my ankle so close its paw landed in my trouser turn up and it had to shake it loose with some difficulty and much squeeking before escaping!

Little do they know I have bought a stack of ten rat traps, ready for action, and the extermination campaign starts tomorrow!

Lots of luck, they are very hard to catch. Best rat trap is a terrier.

It's a rat trap baby, and you've been caught....

We did various dissections at age 12 and 13. Locust, earthworm, rat and bull's eye. Only the silly shrieking girlies (of either sex) had a problem.

Pah. Rats can tell the difference even between my trouser leg and a sewer entrance.

A Level Biology - sometimes it was a rat, sometimes a dogfish.

In O level Biology we had to dissect a fish, after that I refused to do any more. Watching Timothy running around flicking fish eyes at thegirls was too much. There was a frog and a small mammal - I simply refused.

In O level Physics we had to take in a bull's eyeball and dissect that. I did not take one in (many didn't) and tried to stay but the smell was too much.

In A level Chemistry on compulsory experiment (it went towards your grade) was chopping up fresh liver and dropping it in hydrogen peroxide to watch it fizz. Again, I refused.



One of the many reasons I went into IT.

I knew a woman once, a mouse ran up her leg.

Her pussy ate it
