what exactly is Ethiopian money made of? I know rats aren't the most discerning food critics, but did they really get any nutritional value from munching on paper/metal money?
I wonder if they had the rat version of constipation after their feast? Cash can't be good for the digestive system...

Sorry to hear that, Pat. Enron is one I was able to avoid, not some others...

There are rats everywhere, ain't it? I guess we could say that his money
went in chewing instead of in smoke? PS: I left you another message for the singing doggy thing.

Perhaps the Ethiopian National Bank...
...will loan the rats some money to make up for what they ate.
Wait a minute... that doesn't really make sense, does it? :)

LOL, Nautikos. On the KC news yesterday, they told of a man with a gun who tried to rob a store. The woman at the counter told the robber that they were just opening and that they could not get into any of the money until the owner got there with the special key. So, the robber wrote down his telephone number and told the woman to call him when the owner got there. HAHAHAHA. Can you believe it. The police got him by tracing the phone number.
I guess he thought he would get a call saying, "Mr. Robber, you can come rob us now. The owner is here and the cash register unlocked." LOL

I lost a third of my savings to some dudes at Enron. Electronic rats.
They're quicker and sneakier than the four-legged kind.

At least he should find a clay jug or some such to keep the paper in while hiding it in plain sight of the theives. Poor man.

Maggie and Naut. about my little song. I didn't make it up
It's the first song my Daddy ever taught me to sing at about age 2. He'd trot me out for the long suffering relatives and make them sit through my being "Cute"!!!while I sang my little number.
