Food in Room = Bad Idea

There are 72 different rooms where we live on base. Not everyone has a roommate but most. The problem is that it seems people want to leave trash laying about and food out in their rooms. That is a bad idea. Since we are a Brigade Headquarters, we have alot of leaders and few lower enlisted. This of course means we should know better. But, I guess not. Why is this a problem. Let's see:

  • Food crumbs bring mice.
  • Mice bring fleas and diseases.
  • Mice also attract snakes. Think about Cobras and other snakes.

An order has been put out to clean the place up. I guess that will solve the problem. I have a completely different solution.

Put in a request for a Mongoose. (Think Rikki tikki Tavi) Now where is that supply sergeant so I can put in a request.

By the way, what is the plural of Mongoose?

  • Mongoose?
  • Mongooses?
  • Mongeese?
  • Mongoosi?
  • several Mongoose?

(just being funny there, for a moment)

If you consider a group of grown men messy then you'll love Polka Dot's new habit of dumping cereal on the floor and stomping all over it!

Yikes, I guess I usually just think about crumbs bringing ants! And Mo, what a mess....you don't even have a dog to help clean it up, that's what happens here.
