POOF! Suddenly our readers are overwhelmed with an odor well beyond that of which a ferret can produce. Smoke drifts over and you wave it off with difficulty breathing. Egads, surely the smoke that appears with the Oracle is not ... that kind of smoke. Ugh, but there is not debating it ... it is. "Welcome ferret love puppets. Well, slaves, ::she spits her gum out into the air with great umph:: I'm here to to put this earth thing to rest. My subjects and I, ::she motions over to many furry little creatures at her feet called ferrets:: have been blowing ... er, zooming around the world in my little, red, radio flyer wagon while you all flapped your jaws about the earths shape. And we have seen for ourselves, that it is in the shape of ... ::drum roll::" Just then Dippy jumps up and shouts, "Petey The Pooped On's rump!" And another ferret jumps up to shout, "Nonono, that's not it. Sukies cranium." And another ... "Come ooooooon! It was not. It looked more like Bigs belly button." And another ... "It did noooooot. Sheesh. We all saw it. We all know it looked exactly like Judy Cookes elf ear." And another ... "No way man, it was flat like the top of the Ca. fish and games people's heads!" They all high paw it, and laugh through the ranks. A goofy looking sable arises among the dooking and chuckling trying to join in the fun and says, "Nut uh. Sheesh. It didnt' have points like the Elf's ear. Where were you? We all saw it looked more like Wolfy's belly." A great silence falls like a bag of rocks. Finally amidst fang laced open jaws, Dippy jumps up doing her best J-Lo impression and waves her finger in the air, "Ho no she di-int!" The Oracle slumps over, shaking her head and drags her staff behind her and says to you, "Oh forget it!" The Great Ferret Oracle http://wolfysluv.jacksnet.com [Posted in FML issue 4715]
