5 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

Looks like somebody already put jam on his nose.

Hey ant... I inadvertently duped this vid using this title.

"Dormouse with Sleep Apnea - where are snore strips?"

If you are bored with your title, I bequeath you mine. I rather liked it and was sorry to lose it.
