We are building a freezer that will be at minus 10 degrees at all times. And then I’ll put you in it in a thin pair of pants and a thin sleeveless shirt. Okay, and I’ll get a real rat and I’ll put the rat and it will be like a non-rabid rat, I put it in the freezer with you and just have to shoot.”
