The New Batman?
Update 10/12/09: Mike had his last rabies shot. He's not feeling very well at the moment, but perhaps things will start looking up!
Update: 9/20/09: The first two rounds of rabies shots are completed, with more to come on 9/21, 9/28 and 10/12. When asked to comment on the "bat incident", Mike explained that at first he thought the bat just fell on him. He picked it up and brought it outside so it could fly away. It wasn't until later that he discovered his cheeks were starting to swell up. And yet he didn't think much of it. He credits his wife, Vicki, with being concerned enough to notice what looked like two teeth marks on his face, and to call the doctor at that point. That was the beginning of his education with rabies. Due to the high number of rabies carrying bats in the state of Minnesota, "Hospitals don't send out the bats for rabies testing anymore, they just start the shots."
Senator Mike Jungbauer wasn’t expecting the goblins, ghouls or vampires to appear in his neighborhood till next month,, so what took place on Sunday night might have Robin, The Boy Wonder, making a fist with his green, gloved hands saying, “Holy Sudden Incapacitation Batman!”
While attempting to put a car away in his shed, something we think Bruce Wayne probably never did, Mike apparently disturbed a bat, which took the opportunity to communicate his unhappiness by tearing the skin or biting the senator beneath his right eye. The bat couldn’t be reached for comment, but his neighbors stated that, “He was just hanging around minding his own business.”
The Senator has started the series of rabies shots as a precautionary measure. (“Holy Complicated Rabies Shots, Batman!) He wishes to thank everyone for their concern, and will keep you updated here and on his facebook page! Mike has also learned so much about rabies in the last couple of days that he has requested we post information here for the general public to read. Check back often for updates!
Now, to the Batmobile!
