"I wouldn't give 2 cents for the whole state.....sumting wong there....and it's not about money." I agree. I normally wouldn't give two cents either, but think of the possibilities! All those appointed people who stand in the way of those poor fuzzies. Denying them the same rights of citizenship that cats and dogs enjoy. If we bought the state, we could fire them and appoint new ferret friendly members. (This is the part that might get scary) The governor would have to go as well. I was thinking Wolfy at first but...well... that might be to much of a shock to the state. Besides she's going to be busy with that lawsuit of hers. There's Alex...but could she handle the stress. Big...hmmmm...maybe too shy? He has awfully quiet. After much consideration I nominate Gordon and Jeep to the governor's mansion. Think of the irony of having a vice-governor who is a ferret! The possibilities are endless... The annexing of Canada reminded me of two sweet ladies from Canada that I met one year in Honolulu. My friend, Cathy and I ran into them at breakfast in the hotel. They told us they were from Ontario Canada and we told them we were from Anchorage Alaska. "Oh, you're from the Northwest Territories, how nice." "No," we said, "We're from Alaska." The poor ladies looked rather confused. "But isn't that part of the Northwest Territories?" "No," we replied, "We're part of the United States, the 49th state." "Oh....when did that happen?" We were trying really, really hard not to laugh to much. I still chuckle over that meeting. It was too cute. Or course if this were to have happened today I might have to hint that Canada may soon meet a smiler fate and become the 51st state. And now like Selina I think I'll crawl back into my igloo and play mahjong instead of checkers with my ferts. Hugs and Dooks, Cindy and the gang at Hiland Ferrets [Posted in FML 7430]
