Re: Richard Gere and the Gerbil
From: Jean

I happened to come across your column regarding Richard Gere and gerbils.

While we'll never know if the rumor about Richard Gere is true, I must tell you that, while hopefully very rare, I know of one man who died from putting a gerbil up his butt.

The gerbil was found during the autopsy. Believe me — my husband has been a funeral director for 30 years and has seen EVERYTHING!

Talk about cruelty to animals!
