NBC's show "Ed" just had several ferrets running around on the counter at
a bowling alley.  I've never seen the show and was just hearing the it as
background noise while in the other room on the internet.  As soon as I
heard the word "ferrets" I started running.  I think they were being used
to scare customers away because they were all running loose, not
necessarily the best portrayal, but cute nonetheless!
