Nothing to do with Mechanical Music, but I had a litter of 3 puppies
(awaiting adoption), one of whom would nightly escape from the 'puppy
box' and make a puppy-type mess on the garage floor.  In the morning,
all 3 puppies would be in the box, so I couldn't tell which one(s) it
was.

One morning, however, I went downstairs to discover the usual 'morning
mess', with the addition of a bunch of glue granules, and three puppies
in the box.  This particular morning, however, one puppy had newspaper
glued all over her mouth, and we knew who had gotten the hide glue and
made the mess...
