Sometimes problems are cannibals and eat each other up
My mom was walking in our neighborhood recently when she met a neighbor who told her about the house problems she'd been having. The neighbor had noticed some marks on the wall above her fireplace mantel. She said to a contractor, "What are these? It's not water." He cut out a five foot section of her wall and found a bee hive that went the length of the fireplace. Behind it was the petrified body of a rat. Its teeth were embedded in a wire which had electrocuted it and started a fire. But the honey had put out the fire, thus saving the house.

This same thing happened to the mother of the sister in law of a friend of my dad's second cousin, Primo d'Aprile, from Sicily.
I'm telling the truth, you know. My mom's neighbor really did tell her that.
I believe you but cousin Primo is hard to convince.
And then Bill Murray came up behind me, and said, "can I bum a smoke?". I said, "It's bill murray!". He said, "go ahead and tell people, they're never going to believe you".

P.S. That is a great story. It has to be true. Just kidding about Bill Murray though.
If I were super famous I could use Murray's line all the time. :)
But with a name like Primo d'Aprile
why should we listen to him?
Hmmm, and they didn't experience any power loss anywhere when the rat chewed through the wire??
I don't know, Linda... Jim, I totally missed your corny Italian pun the first time. :)
