Mouse Jammed Inside a Printer

We have all experienced paper jams with printers and probably not heard of any other kind of a jam with printers. But, in this unique instance, a mouse got stuck in the toner cartridge of a HP Laserjet 1200 printer; it’s still alive while its stuck.

These pictures have been doing rounds through e-mails for the past couple of years. With it, there have been several theories going around too. Some say that the mouse was placed inside the toner cartridge and pictures were captured. While some others felt that the mouse got inside the printer on its own and pictures were taken later. Another improbable theory is that the mouse was photoshopped. Nah! I don’t think so…

Mice have the ability to squeeze themselves into the smallest of holes. I have seen some in person and heard about it quite a lot.

As we can see from the pictures above, the mouse is still alive and I hope it made out alive. If the user had an evil brain like my brother, he would have put the mouse to test by passing some print commands.
