How many calories in a mouse?

Here's an oldie-but-goodie. In 1999, the Iams Company publicly released a list of their favorite "fun" (read: stupid) customer service calls, including such provocative queries as:

• "I have trouble seeing what I'm scooping in my yard. Can your food turn my dog's poop pink?" -dog owner, Ronkonkoma, NY
• "When my dog pees, he leaves brown patches all over the lawn. Is he peeing fire?" – dog owner, Covington, KY.
