“To prevent snakes on a plane, Guam to airdrop poisoned mice”

So in a “don’t raise the bridge, lower the river” scenario, to kill snakes, poison the mice.

As you look further you find that in really it is poison to the snakes, but really a pain killer.

The poison pain killer? Acetaminophen.

So next time you have a headache or pain, be thankful you are not a snake.

Evan more so because: In an attempt to keep the baited mice off the ground, each tiny rodent will be attached to a strand of ribbon between pieces of cardboard designed to drop in a loop and catch in the canopy of trees.

I don’t think comedy writers could come up with a funnier story.
