Well, was good that today's FML was postponed.. I had a type-o in the
subject, had Gerret Group Title instead of Ferret Group Title.. ha!
THe dook is on me!
I noticed talk of what to call a group of ferrets. Have some thoughts on
that. Once at a job interview, the interviewer and I were discussing
our mutual love of ferrets and the problems the animals face in the hands
of uneducated owners. A comment he made, which is soooo true, is that you
let a ferret out of the cage, they are going to get in trouble. Is what a
ferret does.
Now, with that in mind, when I am here in the puter room doing puter
things, I sometimes close the door to keep the crew out while I work.
Always, when I open the door, there are two furry faces looking up at me
having backed off only a couple inches from the door crack. The first
thought that always comes to my mind is 'Here comes trouble' (and I am
widely smiling when that happens).
Soooo, with that in mind, whenever two or more ferrets are gathered there
is 'trouble'. A group of ferrets could be aptly called 'A Trouble' of
ferrets. Ha!
On the down side, that would possibly give the ferts a less than flattering
view point, but would tell the truth, an education in itself to the
uninitiated and first time buyers. Might save a carpet shark or two from a
horrid life.
