OK, Sit down and I can tell you what is REALLY going on with the thong. It belongs to three ferrets named Big, Sukie and Wolfy (I mean ferrets, too) I think they are owned by Robin (?). It is what they use to play tug-o-war with. To prove this, we have a picture of these three ferrets? playing with it. If anyone would like to have this piece of evidence, email me and I will send you a copy. It DOES come with a parental warning as it is strange, almost scary. I have never seen ferrets quite like this (sorry Big, ha ha ha). Deva [Posted in FML issue 5033]
