Bob C's "Things to Remember About Ferrets" Top Ten:
 
10. Count your toes nightly, especially after wearing socks without shoes.
 
09. Never step on a blanket, newspaper, article of clothing, or poopie.
 
08. Never mistake ferret poopie for toe jam if rule 9 is ignored.
 
07. Ferrets are short, long and skinny, which means they can fly at will.
 
06. In a choice between eating kibbled or wet food, a ferret will always
poop in the corner.
 
05. Ferret poop contains a mind-altering drug that causes nearby humans to
have an uncontrolable urge to throw raisins on the floor.
 
04. Ownership of ferrets is proof of mental disease in 24 states.
 
03. There are only four impossibilities in the universe: a) war to end
war, b) honest politicians, c) mass without gravity, and d) intelligence
in the CaCa Fish and Gestapo. Actually, the first three have theoretical
possibility.
 
02. The determination of a ferret to get into something is proportional to
your desire to prevent such an action.
 
01. Never let a ferret back you into a corner.
