Trap the mole, skin it and make a pair of gloves for the wife.

Wife must have rather small hands...

I'm not intending to be unkind here, but one of my wives was
gobsmacked when she first saw a mole: she'd been under the impression
that they were bigger than cats.

No reason she should know the scale. (Though I did well before I was five.)

Some time ago I was getting milk for the staffroom tea in Barking, and I
went into the local shop and eyed the milk on offer with some disfavour
- a choice of sterilised or homogenised.

"Haven't you got any *REAL* milk?" I asked.

"Nah luv," replied the countermatron, "all we've got is cah's miwk."
