This just happened:
A baby mouse (or rat) just fell out of the ceiling and onto a lap in the White House press briefing room.

Me: Metaphor, anyone?
Y'all: The mouse wanted to join the rats in the White House press room.

Honestly though the fact that npr had to say "this is not a metaphor" twice when telling the story of a rat that fell from the ceiling of the white house and ran loose in the press room.. the comedy of it all
