When I can get my hands on the local paper, I like to check for ferrets
that I might be able to rescue. In this week's paper was something along
these lines:
"Ferret, cage, and accessories. Worth $225. Will sacrifice for $175."
Um, hellooo? That sounds like an add for a used and discarded engagement
ring or something. Sheesh.
Anyway, on a "Frasier" rerun the other night, Woody from "Cheers" was
visiting. They were sitting around the table joking about a time when
they had played a joke on Cliff by putting an angry ferret in his mailbag.
Frasier's brother asked how you make a ferret angry, and Woody replied
"Well, for starters, you put him in a mailbag!" I practically rolled off
the couch laughing. I started out cringing, because I thought it would
just have to be something bad (OK, call me a pessimist), but it came out
great. Cheers to Frasier, no pun intended!
