Curses! Part Deux

Remember my fear of ancient Egypt? (Please see Curses! Part One) Apparently the Nile is a popular vacation spot....my dear friends the Kennedys just embarked on a middle eastern jaunt and returned bearing gifts. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present the miniature sarcophagus and mummy tchotchke:Yeah, so you slide off the top and inside there is a tiny little mummy all wrapped in gauze. wtf. Continuing the "Curses! Part One" tradition, please comment and leave your favorite creepy scenario involving this treasure:

1. I wake up in the morning, roll over in bed, and look at the sarcophagus sitting on my desk. The lid has slid off and the mummy is sitting upright, looking straight at me.
2. I hear a strange tapping noise which appears to be comming from the coffin, and when I remove the lid, a strange smoke comes out and the mummy is missing. This is followed by a series of events not unlike the biblical 10 Plagues of Egypt (which is especially threatening because the tenth plague, as we all know, is the death of the firstborn, aka: yours truly).
3. I come home from work to see the mummy out of his box and sitting on the couch watching television.
4. Other

I vote for number 3 because it is more funny than scary and I hate scary. Plus I would like to sit with him and watch "So you think you can dance".

Also just so you know i have pretty much quit drinking Dr. Pepper. Hell has frozen over.

Can any and ALL of these scenarios include the strangely-attractive actor who played the mummy with Brendan Fraser? Then at least while you're being hypnotized or used as a soul/body for his mummified girlfriend you can have something nice to look at.

Ok, my vote is other... You wake up to find yourself IN the coffin. The mummy has switched himself with you, and now you are the mummy and therefore stuck in the coffin forever. Which then you might not be as scared of mummies... cuz you are one.

how about...

after having a creepy sex dream from which you awake calling out 'ramses!' you discover that you're pregnant. 9 months later an even miniature-er version of that miniature mummy comes out.

in a diaper made of that gauze.
