I just finished reading Soul Music un couple of days ago...

 

 

hmm?

 

 

 

To those who don't get the reference: From Terry Pratchett's novel Soul Music:

Rats had featured largely in the history of Ankh-Morpork. Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats; and then people were suddenly queuing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no-one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh--Morporkians in any situation involving money: 'Tax the rat farms.'
