Rats, I meant to comment earlier!

Just kidding, but I did get to make a rat dad-joke. Worth it.

Twice I've been in an apt and had rats, neither in NYC. In the city I always feel back home when I see a rat in the subway. I kind of like rats, but not in my apt. (P.S. Twenty times a day??)

Oh hell no to the apt rats, that’s intolerable but glad you don’t mind them in the wild so much. Sluts!

It's unnerving, I'll admit.

And they should be ashamed of themselves.

Nice to see Milwaukee mentioned in that culture. We’ve always been a leader.

Ha we take our dubious honors wherever we can get them!

Likely the quote from "Taxi" evolved into an expression attributed to Cagney, but never actually said by him in any movie: "You dirty rat!"

Yes, that's the origin of that. I forgot to add, thanks!

Glad you're not squeamish. I could go further on the facts but didn't want to overwhelm ;)
