Hands up anyone who would sue a rat responsible for a million dollar arson.

On the news today, a rat chewed it’s way to cause arson at the 379th post of Veteran of Foreign War. It was said that the damages raged up to an overwhelming $1 million.

Only if they had a cat…this wouldn’t have happened.

In Yakima, Washington, a rat reportedly munched on a couple of karaoke wires at the Veteran of Foreign War Post 379. According to investigators, the rat immediately caught on fire after being electrocuted. Surviving, the rat escaped to it’s nest while still ablaze, thus causing combustible materials therein to burn.

Worth $1 million property was burned on the process.

Policemen are presently holding onto charred evidences, which includes the said rat’s remains right next to the fire’s place of origin, aka, its nest.

Rodents and fire trouble aren’t unheard to people, however, it’s still funny whenever something so stupid happens. Please, if you have condolences to the rat, feel free to leave your comments below.

    Reminds me of the time a squirrel chewed through a power cable. It cut the power to seven blocks of homes in the middle of winter…the surprised look on the fried squirrels face will remain with me forever :-D
