Bronze rat

[Dan C]

A Tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco . While
looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike,
life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so
incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the
old shop owner and asked, "How much for the bronze rat ?"

"Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat and $100 for
the story," said the wise old Chinaman.

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. "I'll just take the
rat, you can keep the story".

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist
noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and
had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so
he began walking faster. A couple blocks later he looked behind him and
saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and
they began squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward San Francisco Bay .
Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the
rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward
him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as
far as he could into the Bay.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the
bronze rat and were all drowned. The man walked back to the curio shop in
Chinatown. "Ahhh," said the owner, "You come back for story ?"

"No sir," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
Democrat."
