ricco67 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 While on a call to a fairly remote area, I came onto a piece of private property where I went to this trailer located in the middle of this modest lot.You know it's coming don't you?I knocked on the door and waited for them to answer. Apparently they love to get up at the crack of noon. While I waited outside and kept the cats company, I noticed a large wire thingie about 6 feet tall and 2 feet in diameter. On casual inspection, it looked like chicken wire. I waited. I was bored.I looked at the cage (for the lack of a better term). I noticed that there was a couple of UV lights inside the cage. Off to one side, I noticed a couple of lawnchairs with an empty (but obviously often used) cooler in the middle. I waited. I then noticed there were wires leading from the trailer, which I initially thought led to the UV light...but turns out they lead to the CAGE! I got curious. I noticed the design where there was little space between the wires and that it was actually covered several times over. THen I noticed something I should have seen before: Dead bugs. LOTS of dead bugs. Basically, I came to the horrific realization that this was a 6ft tall, home-made bug zapper and they obviously considered this entertainment (along with their above ground pool). I burst out laughing. I got a puzzled look when they FINALLY came to the door, I merely mentioned I was laughing at a kitten and let the matter drop. I laughed all the way back to Houston. Oh good lord, some of these people amaze me!Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hope kitty doesn't grow up to be a sprayer...he'll end up with a new hair-do if he tries to mark the zapper as territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
