    mice and spiders?

    I do it all the time now before slotting my bread in there.

    I read an article a few years ago where this woman got a funny smell while waiting on her toast!! It turned out a mouse got into her toaster over night!! :eek:

    So now, every morning I take a peek to make sure no spiders, flies or mice are in there!! :eek:

    I always fumigate the toaster before popping my bread in.

    You never know.

    best thing to do while the toaster is still on is too jab a knife in the toaster a couple times, remember to go good and deep

    Mice and spiders? In my toaster? Nope. Can't say that's a possibility that has ever occurred to me.

    Cartoons have led me to believe that a mouse in a toaster can only be hilarious.

    Putting my friends cat in the microwave used to be one of my favorite pastimes. Unfortunately the cat died of Aids this year.

    It happened to my brothers girlfriend too. She tried putting the slider down and it wouldnt go, so she brought the toaster around to her dad to fix it and he found a mouse in it. :eek:

    You'd be surprised where a mouse can get.......I see mice (usually dead) in fax machines, printers & photocopiers regularly, even wrapped around the drum, where the tones goes!!!
