A tourist walked into a Brighton curio/antique shop.
After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag,
but it was so striking that he decided to buy it
anyway. He took it to the owner and said, 'How much is this bronze rat.'
The owner replied, 'It's £12 for the rat and £100 for the story.'
The tourist gave the owner his £12 and said, 'I'll just take the rat. You can keep the story.'
As he walked off down the street he noticed a few real rats had crawled out of the sewers and begun following
him. This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a couple of blocks the swarm of rat had grown to hundreds and they were
all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way.
He increased his speed and ran on towards the beach,
and as he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats now numbered in their millions and they were running
faster and faster. Now very concerned,he ran down the pier and threw the bronze rat far out into the water.
Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the water after it and were all drowned.
The man walked back to relate this all to the shop owner, who said, 'Ah, you've come back for the story then?'
'No,' replied the tourist. 'I came back to see if you've got a bronze Frenchman.'
