I wasn't gonna say a word . . . I didn't want to stir up any animal
activists or gross anyone out, but I can't stand it . . . I'm gonna tell
all:
Several years ago I stumbled onto an amazing company called "Dixie Gun
Works" in Union City, Tennessee. Any "shop talk" person could spend a day
in this amazing Mecca for anyone with an appreciation of old engines, cars
and especially guns. Among my purchases that day was a "Black-powder
Mousetrap". It loads with a few grains of black-powder and a wad of
newspaper. When the mouse raises up to nab the cheese bait, he trips a
hammer which fires a percussion cap into the black-powder propelling the
paper wad right into his cute little tummy, ruining his whole day! Does
it work? I donno, I've never loaded it but from the day I bought it as a
conversation piece, I've never seen a mouse in my shop - they're smart
li'l boogers!
