For immediate release...

HAMILTON REPORTS RUN ON MOUSE TRAPS & PEANUT BUTTER

Hamilton store owners today reported an unexpected run on mouse traps and peanut butter. According to one store owner an unidentified couple came in and purchased every mouse trap in stock. Another store owner reported a couple came in asking specifically for Victor mouse traps made in Pennsylvania. Having only traps made in Taiwan, the couple had a heated discussion, then purchased the entire inventory. It was also reported the couple was overheard questioning grocery store owners if they had any "recalled" peanut butter left.

Speculation has run rampant on why the sudden sale of mouse traps and peanut butter. One source, as yet unconfirmed, identified the couple in question as artists who are planning an upcoming installation entitled "Mouse Moat at Midnight".

Store owners state it will take at least two weeks to replenish their stocks.

Ok, ok... so I made this up. However, I am pleased to report we all slept soundly last night (Adam, the cat, included). We did NOT catch any mice in our numerous traps overnight. What does that mean?
