A tourist walked into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the exotica, he noticed a very realistic, life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag but was so striking he decided he must have it. He took it to the owner and asked, "How much for this bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat. One hundred dollars for the story," said the owner.
The tourist gave the man twelve dollars and said, "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story."
As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following him down the street. This was disconcerting so he began walking faster.
Within a couple of blocks the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing. He began to trot toward the bay, looking around to see that the rats now numbered in the millions, and were squealing and coming toward him fast. Scared, he ran to the edge of the water and threw the bronze rat as far out into the bay as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the bay after it, and all were drowned.
The man walked back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," said the owner, "You have come back for the story?"
"No," said the man. "I came back to see if you have a bronze Republican."

Buddy! you gotta stop this confusing title thing! Again you got me thinking Oldsmobile! Ironically, Bronze Rat is what my '79 Cutlass has been christened. (The joke was pretty good though!)
