Does everyone have to look down on someone else? Why are the slightest differences seized upon negatively? Must there be a worldwide pecking order?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rattus: I’m never eating in that place again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ed: Why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rattus: I can’t believe who else was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ed: You mean, in the dumpster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to putdowns, rats are no different from anyone else. And isn’t this a world of rats? There are 7 billion of them, a number equal to that of human beings. Ed and Rattus were two of the 7 billion. They were in a dead-end alley northeast of Philadelphia. By a dumpster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ed: I don’t want to be caught dead in any place. But what’s with the dumpster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ed: The wet sewer? And sewer rats? That’s disgusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rattus: Exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
