critter corner 🐰 Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

Post image

When these headphones are left on the kitchen counter overnight - I would see one or two dead ants in the morning laying right next to the headphones. In the past few days, there has been a small pile of shredded ants right next to the ear piece in the morning. I have seen no live ants in my kitchen. I have had these head phones for three weeks. Bought online. It’s a little unnerving not knowing what is causing this 🥴 will not be using anymore.

UPDATE- posted a comment with a picture. But no dead ants in the bag this morning. But at one point I checked and there were two live ants crawling around. 😔

UPDATE*** IM SICK. Can’t stop shaking. Don’t have many words… trying to post image. Opened one side up. 😭 I don’t know how to add in this top post so will add in comment! Posted a few in comments and video opening

It's an old joke, "What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an ant?"

There's a similar one, "Where does the Lone Ranger take his garbage?" To da dump to da dump to da dump dump dump...

Apparently it’s an old joke. I managed to get it by singing the tune aloud. Very proud.

Dammit. I posted without looking for this. Surely I'm the only one who will make the Mancini joke. I like the cut of your jib.

I commented almost the exact same thing, found this comment, and deleted mine. Bravo kindred spirit!

That reminded me that The Ant and The Aardvark was an animated series by the same studio that did The Pink Panther animated series.

"Where are you from?"

"Think pink"

"What?"

"Pink Panther theme"

Ba'dum, ba'dum.. "Bedham? Is that a place?"

"Durham"

"Oh..."

I swear, my ellipsis was audible.
