NEWSFLASH: Dead Rat Found in Office Car Park

Kuala Lumpur, Fri. - Office workers were shocked when they found a dead rat in the basement car park of an office block in Plaza Damansara today.

Apparently, the dead rat was situated next to one of the cars that is regularly parked there. Authorities traced the owner of the car to a man in his '30s who works there.

The owner, who only wanted to be identified as "Daddy", told us, "Unfortunately, yes, I put it there. There really wasn't any other place I could have put it."

It turns out that the man's cat - codename "Harun" - had put the dead rodent in his shoe the previous night. And this was one day when Daddy decided to drive wearing his slippers and bring his shoes to the office. So he hadn't checked if there was anything unusual in his shoe.

A source, who only wanted to be identified as "Mummy", told us, "He never drives to work wearing his slippers. He always puts his shoes on at home and then drives to work. Poor thing (him, not the rat)."

"I should have realised something was afoot (pun intended?). Usually when I come home from work I put my socks in the shoes. This morning, one of the socks was outside the shoe," Daddy explained to this correspondent.

"So it was only when I parked the car and started to put on my shoes that I realised there was something grey and fuzzy and quite dead in my shoe," he continued.

Your correspondent had to excuse herself to gag. Investigations continue.
