I don't think this second episode has the punchiness and bite of the original.

And have you considered the possibilities of other rodents?
The capybara, perhaps? Or possibly one of the cavies?
Beavers are interesting, too...........

Norwegian, eh?
. So, not much appreciated, much like their trees.

Rat stories?
No, but then I don't talk to them very much.
Squirrels, on the other hand, oh, the tales they've told me, you wouldn't believe them.

I have some rat-TAILS, if yer interested.

Be quick about it, I'm off down the barber's tomorrow.......

they cant be trusted, i prefer cats.

I kept rats as pets around 1980. I had three rats, Cleopatra, Victoria and Rhoxane. Contrary to popular view a rat, at least a tame rat, is a charming animal, who simply loves to be taken up and cuddled. But a rat is a rodent, just like a rabbit. You have to keep a watchful eye on it when it saunters about in the living room. It has a special view on what should be done with furniture, books and electric wiring. So you have to keep it locked up in its cage when you are not at home. I lived alone and had a full-time job in those days, so I had little time for the rats. I had an uneasy conscience about that. When they died (an average rat will not get much older than two years; of my rats only Victoria attained the ripe old age of three) I did not replace them.
