My mum has a rape alarm that's shaped like a mouse. Every morning she get's the 10.30 bus into town and knows a few people on it. So, as usual, she can't find her bus pass and in the process, sets off the rape alarm. Problem is, she can't remember how to turn it off. So it's screeching, the people she knows are dying of laughter, the others and grumbling, the driver is refusing to leave because it's so loud his hands are over his ears and nothing is turning this thing off. So she goes "There's only one thing for it!" and tosses it, still squealing, into the hedge by the bus stop and the bus goes.
She get's the 12:00 bus home and asks my dad to meet her because she has heavy bags. My dad can hear the bloody alarm half way down the street! It's still going off, loud as ever! He finds it in the hedge, pushes the tail in and it silences and he hands it back to Mum.
