So Totally Unbelievable That You Will Automatically Believe It

Sweet Gummi Mary! The lack of common sense in Farmer H is unfathomable. You'd think a man of his years would be able to grasp the obvious. But no. It's like he is coated with common-sense repellant. Dipped in it, hung up to dry, and dipped again. 

Remember the mouse that invaded T-Hoe? How could you forget? It's been the subject here all week. Farmer H caught it in a trap inside T-Hoe. There has been no other mouse. But I found that Mousy's filthy mouth had also shredded a tiny bit of one of four rolls of Bounty Select-a-Size Paper Towels from T-Hoe's rear. I trimmed that part, and told Farmer H that I wasn't using it.

Farmer H decided that he was going to use it in the basement of the Mansion for cleaning things like his precious inventory of highly-regulated goods he sells at his SUS2.5. He set that roll on the kitchen table until the next time he was going to the basement.

A subsequent disagreement ensued that evening. Farmer H flipped out, gesticulating wildly, running his mouth, and in a fit of pique, declared that if I didn't want those paper towels in my house, he would take them to town. He stomped out the kitchen door, grabbing the trimmed nibbled roll.

But wait! Farmer H was only gone a couple minutes. I thought maybe he had put the paper towels in SilverRedO. Oh, silly, silly Mrs. HM! That would have been the logical thing a person possessing common sense might do.

The next day, I opened up the garage door to see that roll of paper towels sitting atop the generator, right next to the lidded trash can of dry dog food. 

I'm pretty sure something had been nibbling on the end...

As long as the nibbling is happening in the garage and not in your kitchen or T-hoe that's good enough for me.

I must stop binge reading your posts! It is not fair to make me laugh like this with a gouty toe that makes it hard to rush to the bathroom.

River,
That IS the best scenario. But attracting them to the garage is not something I want to do.

Kathy,
Sorry about your gouty toe, but I cannot prevent Farmer H from engaging in such shenanigans, and I cannot stifle myself from reporting it. This is my outlet, which keeps me from committing assorted crimes against Farmer H.
