I'd certainly like to know if AFA has a problem with this.....I'll give
them an e-buzz and see.
 
"Expos" is actually what the stores started calling it and I just continued
to use it because they seemed to understand what that meant.  I suppose if
there is a problem we could go to Ferret Outreach instead.  Some other
options might be:
 
or
F.E.E.T.
(which stands for: Ferrets Entertain Everyone Today)
 
or
T.A.N.K.A.
(which stands for: The Animal Noone Knows About)
 
or
W.Y.A.D.I.T.C.O.T.
(which stands for: What's Your Animal Doing In The Corner Over There?
however I'm not sure if that would really give the right impression in the
public's eye)
 
or
W..H.I.T.
(which stands for: What the Hell Is That?)
 
or
The Five F's......
Fun, Fast, Furious, Friendly, Fuzzy, Freeloaders.  (ah, but we love them
still.)
 
or
Ferrets are our friends, whatsa matter with you?  Why you no lika da
ferret?
 
Hey, if any of you on here come up with anything better....Please let me
know, I'll present it to the board and give the winner a gift certificate.
($15 dollars to Petco)  Email me directly at <[log in to unmask]>
 
I'll present it at the July meeting and Post it here afterward....
 
Personally, I like F.E.E.T.....Thatsa Nice!
(of course if I win.......)

Ah, but does it have any personal bearing and would it affect you legally?
