Almost half of Brits might not be as able-bodied as you might imagine.
I'm more interested in the rat fight, because I had my fair share of mouse encounters and rats are bigger, more dangerous and just as quick.
I mean, Americans have huge obesity rates, but apparently, nearly 20% of us think we can take a chimp. I'm sure a rat couldn't kill me, but I have no idea how I would catch one with my bare hands, so that feels like a draw to me.
Most people would consider their opponent running away to be a victory.
I kinda assumed this was a cage-match, fight-to-the-death kind of thing. I think most animals would rather run away than fight you, unless you're encroaching on their territory or look like an easy meal.
Might be easier to catch if its literally gnawing at you and attacking you.
The rat one would depend very much on what shoes I had on.
If I had my work boots on, Remy's getting punted across the room.
I think of it more for the rat, that if it wants to itβll fuck me up, but Iβm more likely to kill it before it kills me.
