The hamster is to chew the insulation off the wires so you can splice them
together and wrap them with duct tape, silly Pat. ;-D

I though that it was food for the next Hollywood hit movie, "Snakes in a
Miata".
I would actually go see that one..... :-)

How is the hamster going to buy the beer? They die long before the legal
U.S. age of 18 to 21. Even a BFG, (big fluffy hamster), would also be
very limited in beer transportation capacity.

I still think that the hamster is a replacement for one of the four
gerbils that currently pretend to power the miata.
He can be used for one additional rodentpower on the treadmill or can
take over if one gerbil gives out. The miata does not run well on only
three gerbils... ;-)

Ok, you got me, what are the cardboard wedges for?

Pat, If the hamster takes the "BFH" with him to buy the beer, he will
get the beer with no problem ! The "BFH" is a "Big Fxxxxxg Hammer" To
see a hamster with a BFH in his paw will frighten the store keeper so
much, he will give him anything ! :-)
