Tully Hammill brags,
> I *stepped* on a moose once. Top that.

I see what's going on here. You may remember an old folk/campfire song
called "Out in the Great Northwest." One verse is about a Scotsman who
calls a house a "hoose." They show him a moose, and he says, "If that's
what you call a moose, I hate to see a rat get loose, out in the great
Northwest." Now, I don't know what kind of accent you have, Tully, but
that little gray thing you stepped on is called a "mouse," not a "moose."
