“Well, sure,” I said. “Why not?”
“The place isn’t … bugged?”
“Well, we have an exterminator come once a month, but in a neighborhood

“No no! I mean microphones,
listening devices.”
“Oh, those! Oh, sure, we’ve got
lots of those. In the light switches
mostly, and here and there. But they
don’t work any more.”
“Are you sure? You’ve deactivated
every one?”
“Well, most of them, rats ate the wiring.”

the Ointment by Donald E. Westlake)
