If I’m trapped in a building collapse, and your best idea is to send a rat to find me, you’d better hope that I die in the debris.

Just what I want when I’m trapped and immobile under tons of rubble...a backpack-carrying rat chewing off my ears and nose.

I’d rather have the Saint Bernard with the little brandy cask.

Can they miniaturize the St. Bernard's rescue barrel? Maybe name the new rat breed "St. Miniscule"?

Ben, you’re always running here and there
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere
They don’t see you as I do
With a backpack with a sandwich or two
I’m sure they’d think again
With a delivery guy like Ben

Tip of the hat to Michael Jackson.

I lived in LA during the Northridge quake. The thought that at any minute the earth could start shaking and the building could collapse on you was always on my mind. Especially at night. I’m glad I moved back the the Midwest - at least we are informed when weather could become nasty.

I guess it’s better than burning down cities like they usually do.

I always wanted to visit Belgium but one of their laws keeps me out. Do something interesting there and it’s the death penalty. It’s the only one in Europe.
