Just thought I'd share this funny Christmas laugh with you: The funniest thing happened with a discarded Christmas wrapping paper tube (the jumbo roll size). It was just big enough for the two girls to get through easily. They were having the greatest time >>squeezing<< through it, and were sickeningly smug that neither of the boys could fit through. Furry tried a few times and always panicked and pulled out when he got to his butt which DID NOT want to fit through. Frisky would put his head inside, go up to his neck and promptly back out, with a "NO WAY!" expression on his face. Then I noticed that the tube was wiggling on the floor and both girls were standing there watching it. I kept a close eye on it so I could watch for signs of panic, in which case I would pick up one end, and gently shake it to help slide the trapped ferret out. To my amazement, a little black masked face appeared out of the end. Then slowly Furry pulled and wiggled himself out of the tube, like a lady tugging herself out of a much too tight girdle. I swear he had a smile on his face! He hasn't attempted to do this since; I think that he just wanted to do it one time "because it was there". And of course, he had to prove to the girls that he could. Merry Christmas! [Posted in FML issue 2163]
