The picture on that postcard looks a bit cheezy.

Interesting how we were able to eradicate smallpox (I've got my fingers crossed on that one) but can't seem to do the same for mice / rats. If I had my 'druthers, I'd have the housefly eradicated first, followed by pigeons which are just flying rats anyway.

And that was really bad, Expat. 😛
