Once upon a time there was this magical scientist named Patchy McGee. He hated how much cheese was in the world. He hated the taste of it, the smell of it, the looks of it, and the feel of it.

Everything was quiet and he was about to give up when all of the sudden he came up with a brilliant mind set. If he could start the life of a rat he could end the life of one
