THE UNRELENTING MOUSE.....

PROLOGUE: The EU Animal rights protocol states that the mice should be kept in a closed container with excess of Isofluran (For the information of the Ignorants: Isofluran is an anesthetic). Wait for the mice to die before cutting it open.

After the above-said protocol one fine day in the lab, I got 1 mouse on the table. I checked for its heart rate and vitals (check whether it moves or not). Confirming that it was dead, I sprayed it with Alcohol and was just about to cut it when lo and behold it starts gasping for air. The stupid mouse hadnt died yet. I thought that maybe the Isofluran dosage wasnt enough. So I kept the mouse in the container again with an increased dose of the above-mentioned anesthetic. In the meanwhile, I thought of carrying on the experiment with other mice. By the time I kept the second mouse, the Isofluran was so high that the mouse died in seconds. Same thing happened with the 3rd and the 4th mouse. By the time I kept the 5th one for execution, I checked on the first one. And to my utter surprise, it was still breathing !!!!!! This was really surprising. No other mouse had survived for so long in the Execution box (A name given by me to that particular box which is used to kill the mice). It seemed like the Death-God of the mice (If there is one) was just unwilling to accept this particular individual. Who knows what reason it may be. May be because this particular mouse had committed too much PAAPS in its lifetime (which was about 7 weeks). Or maybe because it had something to accomplish before leaving this mohmaaya bhara sansaar. But whatever the reason, it was hampering my experiment. If it hadnt been for the EU animal rights protocol, I would have killed it there and then ekdum desi ishtyle. But NO!!!! I had to wait for it pass on the next world before I could cut open its materialist body and extract those few million cells which were floating around in its abdomen due to the injection which it had been given 2 days prior.

EPILOGUE: Finallly after 6 mice gone before its eyes, इस चूहे ने दम तोड़ दिया। And then finally I was able to go ahead with my experiment happily ever after.
