Since you didn't get the quote I shall explain its origin, it is from the cena trimalchionis within the work the satyricon by petronius. the character who utters it is a violently drunk freedman who is in the middle of insulting a small boy and then says "he's like a mouse in a pisspot, he doesn't know where to go", apparently pissing on mice in pisspots was a past time of the lower classes of Romans

keir- 03-25-2007

yes, they did it because they were fond of the mice

Pliny The Younger- 03-30-2007

they were fond of fried door mice, and horace has a satire about a town mouse and a country mouse

keir- 03-31-2007

what about mice that like being pissed on

Pliny The Younger- 04-12-2007

I doubt there are any.

keir- 04-14-2007

Pliny The Younger- 04-17-2007

ignorantly rational

keir- 04-19-2007
