Population Statistics
There are 7 billion people in the world and 7 billion rats. Both are social creatures, although people refuse to socialize with rats. The sight of a rat – at a wedding reception or restaurant, for example – upsets humans. But how about rats?...
“Rattus, did you know there are 7 billion people?”
“What?”
Two rats – Frank and Rattus – discussed the situation in an alley with overturned trash cans.
“7 billion.”
“You mean, as many as rats, Frank?”
“What'd you think of that, Rattus?”
“Look at the world, and some of those weddings and restaurants...I'm sorry to hear it, Frank.”
