Robin the Hood, (stealing from the rich to give to the poor--the rich being anyone with more toys than he has, the poor being anything resembling a ferret), Pollyanna (joy you can't put a cork in), Pippi Longstocking (PeePee Longstocking) the ferret who can "where" (are?) your socks as a bodystocking, and everything is an adventure, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Dazey May Dook and the Dook of Hazards, laughing is a sport, dancing for the sheer joy of it is the prerequisite for "life as a ferret 101", if you're not a ferret, you need to get a life, the ant and the grasshopper could stand to learn a few things from a ferret, such as "make a game of stashing food morning, noon and night", "if it's work, make fun (out) of it", "if it's fun, it ain't really work", when Mom says "leave it rest in peace", the ferret hears " leave the rest in pieces", life is a bowl full of raisins, "ferrets are a gift from God, blessed is the man or woman who has a house full of them" from the psalms according to Alecia.....need I continue? ________ It is better to remain silent and to be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt!
