His daughter, Peggy Lemming, thought this was an oddicile and hired a lawyer to contest it.  The lawyer interrogated all the heirs, including the rat and the mouse, who both squealed.  As he suspected, the rodents had hamstered the Old Man&#8217;s meds, so that he got confused and rewrote the new gerbwill. Peggy got her revenge on the rodents when she used her inheritance to buy several large cats for the mansion.  <em>Etymology:<\/em>  Gerbil (pet rodent) &amp; Will (a legal document declaring a person&#8217;s wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die)<br \/>\n <em>Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petheir<\/strong>:  \/<em>pet-(h)air<\/em>\/ Fluffy, Uncle Bob&#8217;s petheir apparent, shed on everyone and everything.

After the reading of the will, Fluffy decided to spend the remainder of his life in Uncle Bob&#8217;s mansion in Hawaii so we had to move there.
