This is very bad but funny......
The Rat
A City Gent walked into a curio shop in Notting Hill. Looking around at the exotica, he noticed a very life-like, life-size bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but it looked so striking that he decided he must have it.
He took it to the owner and asked "How much is the bronze rat?"
"Twelve pounds for the rat, a hundred pounds if you bring it back,"said the owner.
The City Gent gave the shop owner twelve pounds. "I'll take the rat; And I won't be bringing it back."
As he walked down the street carrying the bronze rat, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of alleys and sewers, and began following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting, so he began to walk a little bit faster. Within a couple of blocks, the group of rats behind him grew to over a hundred, and they began squealing.
He started to trot towards the river Thames . He took a nervous look around and saw that the rats numbered in the thousands, maybe in the millions, and they were all squealing and coming towards him faster and faster.
Terrified, he ran to the edge of the water and threw the bronze rat as far out into the river Thames as he could.
Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the water after it, and were
drowned.
The City Gent walked back to the curio shop. "Aha," said the owner, "You're bringing it back !"
"Actually no," said the City Gent, "I've come back to see how much you want for that little bronze Muslim over there!"
Oh c'mon, it's funny. Pretend it's a Mexican then...
