runnin' amok

They were runnin' amok.

MOUSES!

No actually, they were hamsters.

MOUSES!

That's right, my dear pals.  That's right!  An airplane was grounded for several days after...

Wait for it...

After airport employees went into the cargo hold...

AND FOUND HAMSTERS RUNNNIN' AMOK.

MOUSES!

I don't think they were violent or anythin'.

The hamsters, I mean.  Not the baggage handlers who found 'em.

Yeah, I don't think they were violent.  After all, they're kinda cute, fuzzy little things.

Again, I mean the hamsters.  I doubt any baggage handler wants to be described as a cute, fuzzy little thing.

MOUSES!

But although probably not violent, they - again, the hamsters, I mean - must have been runnin' about.  Maybe even goin' berserk!  I would be, too, had I been put on a plane against my will and then let loose.

MOUSES!

Okay, so they weren't actually LET loose.

Actually, they escaped.

MOUSES!

That's right, my dear pals.  That's right!  Accordin' to multiple news reports from various news agencies, no fewer than 132 hamsters managed to escape on that plane, by chewin' through their cages.

BEFORE RUNNIN' AMOK.

MOUSES!

One wonders exactly what kinda cages those were.  And why-oh-why were they so tasty?

The cages, I mean.  I'm not talkin' about the hamsters.

This time.

MOUSES!

Although on the other paw...

Nah, hamsters are way too cute and too fuzzy for tastin'.

MOUSES!

News reports also indicate there were ferrets and birds on the flight, as well as a number of passengers, aka peeps.  No mention of the ferrets or birds gettin' loose.

No word on the peeps.

MOUSES!

But to tell you the truth, the peeps weren't in cages.  Oh sure, they were probably belted in, 'cause airlines are sticklers 'bout those kinda things, but I'm pretty sure no peeps chewed through their seatbelts.

Although on the other paw...

One never really knows with peeps.

MOUSES!

Nah, I'm thinkin' they just clicked on their seatbelt buttons to undo 'em.

Probably.

MOUSES!

But as for those hamsters who were runnin' amok, the airplane had to be grounded even after all of 'em were found, 'cause if the hamsters had chewed through their cages, they might have chewed through wirin' and stuff.

ESPECIALLY if the wirin' was as tasty as the cages.

Again, I really wanna know what those cages were made of.

'Cause if the cages tasted like salmon or tuna...

I MIGHTTA CHEWED THROUGH 'EM TOO!

Especially if I had previously been imbibin' in catnip and had a big ol' case of the munchies.

Hmm...  Do hamsters like nip?  Could that have been it?  Could those hamsters have been all nipped up, got the munchies, and then started to chew?

Methinks this warrants further investigation.

Most definitely, and for sure.

MOUSES!
