>Surprise! Look at your ferrets' job description in your contract. >Page 416, paragraph 3, clause 5. > >"All ferrets are required to > a) play in the laundry > (i) whether it be clean or soiled and > b) must distract any human attempted to work with said laundry. Todd, I think you forgot part c) for this particular contract. I have found it, after much searching through the contract: c) must at least attempt to steal one article of laundry, whether it is clean or dirty. (i) Said article is better if dirty, and especially better if it is a dirty hammock or sleepsack. Obviously, those belong under the couch! Natalie and the *3* furry snakes [Moderator's note: I found the next page: (ii) If there is only time to steal one small article, steal a sock. The human, noticing one sock is missing, will have no use for the remaining mate and thus give it to you to play with. This is a an extremely efficient way to to get more bang for your dook. I can't reveal ALL the rules for fear that they will find out what I did and lick me to death while I sleep. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3474]
