Mouse in the Glove Compartment
My friend Jon just called me as he was driving down the highway in LA. He reached into his glove compartment, where he keeps energy bars, and was greeted with a bunch of half-eaten bars and tiny little turds. So…do we think the mouse is visiting at night or do we think the mouse is living somewhere in his dash? My guess is the latter. I completely freaked him out with that info (which was completely entertaining), so now I turn to you to give him some advice.
Enjoy this article?

I don’t know what Jon’s gonna do, but as for me, I’m now gonna forever call it the glove department.

I know, right? I just fixed the mistake.
Tip: Don’t talk on the phone and type at the same time.

“Glove Department, Stuart Little speaking, how can I help you? Energy bars? Yes, we carry those. As well as an assortment of maps, user manuals, ATM deposit envelopes, Jiffy Lube receipts, and spare change. You say you need a spare tire? Sorry, I’m afraid you’ll have to contact Mickey in our Trunk Department for that. Shall I put you through?”

Have him call my mechanic, Mr. Pickles.

You guys kill me.
Also, GeekBoy, Jon and I made about fifty Stuart Little jokes.

The obvious solution is to borrow Long Legs and stick him in the car overnight. The mouse won’t stand a chance and LL will get some time away from the Tortures of Meena.

Immediately get rid of the car, never enter the vehicle again…call in sick to work until the car is gone and you have another one. If your wallet or computer is in the car just include it in the price. Take a shower with an S.O.S. pad in case you were exposed to something a rodent might carry that could infect you and be fatal. Contact your physician for some sedatives.
I think that’s pretty much what my To Do list would consist of if this were me. Your list may vary.

I think that’s pretty close to what Jon is ready to do.

Jon should put a mousetrap in his glove compartment. As long as he doesn’t forget about it and reach in for an energy bar. Youch!

Aw, a wittle itty mouse? That’s nothin….I came out to my car one day and had to fish a groundhog out of my engine! He was alive and well and tried to decapitate me. Never, never try to grab one by the scruff of the neck with your own bare hands….you should always use your boyfriend’s bare hands. Thanks, Fred!

Perhaps you can get some ideas here?

I thought Groundhog Day was long over for this year. :-)

This sounds like a question for Click and Clack (Car Talk on NPR).
