Well, I got the clever idea to hide the rat in the Rock Boat luggage, and all would have gone well only Gary decided I needed to add a pillow to the bottom of my suitcase.
“No, I don’t need to do that.” I said.
“Yes, this pillow has to be at the bottom, and I don’t have room. Just pull everything out and re-pack it.”
“I’ll do it later.”
“No, see, just reach in and lift it all out,” he said, reaching in and lifting it all out. “See, it’s … it’s … there’s a rat in here.”
“Damn you.”
He ruined the great Rock Boat Rat Shower Reveal I had planned. It would have been great, great I tell you. Unbeknownst to me, he packed the rat late that night in his luggage, and I was surprised to see it in a Miami Hotel Rat Shower Reveal.
It’s hard to hide a rat in a tiny cruise stateroom though. This was the only true surprise I pulled off.

That is a very convincing rat.
Hattie – well, if you look past the whiskers. They would be the size of dandelion stems sticking out of real rat snout.
