The Verminator....time to hide and squeek

[eyecatcher]

Heres a get rich quick scheme and no mention of work permits required….it goes like this:

Kill a rat, cut off its tail and earn 5 baht per tail.

The posters are up around kamthieng market; I cant read but the wife explained the gist of it is to eradicate the likes of wiels disease and the 28^th of ? is Rat killing day.

So lets all take a potentially diseased ridden tail in our pockets.

Just have to go along to this;

Is this the most bizarre activity, whoever dreamt up such stupidity.?

There's going to be some good sport sitting outside the Lucky Bar then - hundreds of the little bastards, and someone's bound to go in the moat going after them.

Get enough and we can have a BBQ.

I think it would be fun and useful to have a rat terrier, and the dog would never lack for entertainment in Chiang Mai. I wonder if there are any in Thailand.

it is definately as bizarre as the live crocodile catching for 1000b at the last big Bkk flood...as far as the news updates went, i believe the crocs won. ( non monetary way).

no thanks, for these fantastic ideas.

Do you mean the rats or the customers?

Can someone tell me please what is the best way to glue hair onto a worm?

I see the start of the great Rat Pledging Scheme Scam.

Farang need a work permit to perform ratcatching for renumeration.

You wouldn't tell 'tails' to the cops and rat on them would you!

[Chiengmaijoe]

It's rat catching day! Those 5 bahts add up. 4 tails will pay for a Songthaew trip across town to Duke's, or a bottle of flat Sprite, with 4 baht spare. Can farangs join in, or do we need a work permit? Technically, my work permit may cover rat catching so I'm getting involved in this noble project. If I'm not covered, let's hope no one rats on me! That's a joke.

Post your rat catching tails (pun intended) here and let us know your tally.

Maybe one of the forum sponsors would like to get in on this by giving a free meal to the person that kills the most rats. The tails are needed for collecting your reward from the council, so maybe they could count the bodies to determine the winner, and of course what they do with them is nobodies business.

its too late

they heard about it and left town

I now have 3 tails, am excited to get my 15B today!!! since i am a Buddha guy, I caught them in a cage type trap and severed their tails before release.... they didn't seem to miss them and very little blood.

[Trujillo]

Joke about the 5 baht, but near my house people buy cigarettes one at a time. Not everyone is as well-heeled as retired foreigners.

I really should get 'ratty' at you for stealing my puns which were in the post (sic) before yours!

Would the free meal suggested above include a free glass of water?

[eyecatcher]

Did anyone see the worms in disguise. (assuming 2020 found some glue)

I decided last week that even though Tesco have discounted all its rat catching products I would still need to catch 7 rats to make a profit on the box of pink warfarin pellets.

Like having a work permit... financially unviable.

You could get rat ar$ed on the payment from this one found today. You need to enlarge the picture to really see it.
