are you a man or a mouse ? or have you ever been called a rat

have you ever been asked "are you a man or a mouse ? "
or
have you ever been called a rat ?
if so then take heart, during my life its been implied I am a mouse and some girls have called me a rat.
well now I just realised that having been described as a rodent on a few occasions maybe benefical to my survival.
the MCP studies, the TCM studies, the tumeric studies have all had great results on rats and mice. Spare a thought for our friendly rodents donating their lives for our trials.
now they have not got to human studies yet, but surely us humans with rodent characteristics or characters can take heart.
just a light hearted view of clinical trials.
so next time a girl calls me a rat, I'll hug her.
next time mate says are you a man or a mouse ? I'll answer a mouse and smile.
have a great day,
be happy and smile, it may help more than you realise.

More options....
If we were rats we'd all be eligible for more treatment options - I am still waiting for a few trials to enter human studies, that wouldn't be a problem if I had a tail.
I cannot fit through very small openings though.....It'd also be hard to open my supplement pill bottles without an opposable thumb.
