Our upscale community on the banks of the Tigris River is peaceful. Safe. Protected on all sides with only one way in. Or so we thought. River rats don't need to show their badges to the Peshmerga guards at the checkpoint. When they're in the mood to get away, they just wade through the sewers and find a squat toilet to claw up through. The plump one that ran in front of my path on its way from the family room to the bedroom looked right at home. Yes, it had definitely vacationed here before.
Nose to tail this rat was at least a foot long. Threat advisory level: Red. First order of business: Shoes.
Kevin and Carmen jumped off the ping-pong table, trading in their paddles for a baseball bat and squeegie. Since there were no other weapons available, and the rat hunt needed to be documented, I took to higher ground and pushed record. I'd show you my video of the action, but the R-rated language isn't fit for our company blog. Sorry.
The rodent made a clean escape.
Rat: 1
Guardian House: 0
But, rat, know this: next time a stray cat wanders into the kitchen... we just might look the other way.

Is this a scene from "Borat 2"? Kevin is inspired casting.
