I was at work the other day and we were talking about my mouse problem in my basement. My coworker asked how many mouse traps I had.

I said 74.

74?! That's way to many mouse traps. No one would ever need that many mouse traps.

But sir, I haven't told you how many mice I have.

The number of incarcerated individuals is not a relevant statistic if you're also not including the number of criminals there are.

Are they working?

If your 74 traps solve your problem and in a month you have no more mice, then congratulations.

But it sounds like rather than buying more and more mouse traps, you should find and fix the underlying cause.

But why is criminality higher in the US?
