Hello all..
 
We had heard of some unusual practices at one Mr. Lipinski's home of
residence.  So we here at W.S.F.A.  decided to organize a ferret raid!  We
stealthy crawled on our bellies, dressed in black, around the outside of
the stately house of one Edward Lipinski's under the cover of darkness.  As
we emerged from the brush, we heard strange noises eminating from the home.
 
Suddenly, we burst into the residence, to find Mr. Lipinski entirely
backward.  His attire was backward, from his shirt on backward, to his
pants and belt put on the right way wrong, to even his shoes were facing
that backward way.  (he used bungie cords to keep them in place)
 
The unusual noise we heard was Beethoveen's Ode To Joy, a record,
playing the tune backward.  Because of the speed and the backward sound
reverberating from the device.  It soundedlike a polka.  Mr. Lipinski,
in rare form, was actually dancing with a ferret, but in his own way
(backward) HE WAS LETTING THE FERRET LEAD!
 
Well, as most of you ferret types know, these fuzzies can literally rip up
the rug.  So they were flying around the room in a kind of backwards manner.
 
Of course, we were so utterly shocked by this entire event that we
carefully and quietly slinkered out of the room.
 
As we left, we heard this exclamation in the distance.
"!tghin drawkcab dna yrruf a lla ot dna lla ot seizzuf yrreM"
 
It was only after careful examination of our recording devices that we
were able to acertain the true hidden meaning of this message!
 
The events above never really happened and the names were kept the same
because it's funnier that way.
 
Wereas Mr. Lipinski may seem backward to many, we have never found him to
be training ferrets for hunting purposes, nor have we seen him dancing
backwards with one.
 
We here at W.S.F.A. do not approve of such practice as training ferrets
for hunting purposes......but we are not at liberty to discuss dancing at
this time...
 
Thank you for your time
 
and
