The UK House of Lords recently debated a pest control problem in a scene straight out of a sitcom:

My Lords, I do not actually deal with the economy. I am glad to say that that would be above my pay grade, whereas trying to deal with the mice is probably just about right for me.

Another choice quote now immortalized in Hansard:

I invited Members of the House to telephone when they saw mice. The trouble is that when the person at the other end of the helpline goes to check this out, very often the mouse has gone elsewhere.
