49. David Sedaris does a great routine in his new book...
The last essay in the book recounts the story of being interrupted while killing a mouse—to put it out of its misery—at three in the morning by a small van-load of elderly Dutch holidaymakers. The tourists have got lost looking for a certain “willage” in the rural part of Normandy where Mr Sedaris and his boyfriend live. One of the tourists comes forward: “On hearing the faint, lapping noise, he squinted down into the bucket. ‘Oh,' he said. ‘I see that you have a little swimming mouse.' His tone did not invite explanation, and so I offered none. ‘My wife and I have a dog,' he continued. ‘But we did not bring it with us. Too much trouble'.
