Whoever had "15 minutes" in the bat-pool won

[sigma7]

At 8:15 this morning the janitor asks to borrow my phone. He calls in that there's a bat in the custodian closet -- in his bucket, no less. (It was not at the bottom of the bucket, and his little schnoz was sticking out, so he might've still been alive.) That's a new record from start-of-semester to bat-incident. We're off to a roaring start. Or squeaking start. Or shivering-from-the-cold start.

Here's a cut and paste:

Helpful Hint 18: Don't Touch The Bats.

   Several times every year, bats find their way into Cardwell. These are generally small bats, not aggressive or particularly scary (some may even find them kinda cute). However, roughly 1/6 of wild bats are carriers of rabies. So, if you see a bat, call 2-6446 and report it to maintenance, they'll send someone with the proper training and equipment to deal with the bat.

   Do not try to get rid of the bat yourself. Modern medicine has made great strides when it comes to rabies, but the vaccinations still hurt. A lot.

I like. Concise and informative. To quote one of the five greatest works of human literature, I'd settle for just a sign with a bat logo that says "DANGER CAUTION, DO NOT LICK."
