I saw my aunt over the weekend. She said the other day she went into the kitchen to clean it up, when she noticed a dead mouse between the toaster and the wall–Ewww!
She grabbed a paper towel, picked up the body, and tossed it in the trash.
She pulled the toaster out to clean behind it. Then she noticed the toaster’s power cord had something fuzzy on it.
“What is that?” She reached down inspect it with her fingers.
…And got the shock of her life! The mouse had chewed through to the wires. Hence, the reason it was dead–it electrocuted itself. I think it must have also zapped my aunt’s short-term memory, because she touched it twice (and was shocked both times) before realizing she was touching a live wire.
