When I can get my hands on the local paper, I like to check for ferrets that I might be able to rescue. In this week's paper was something along these lines: "Ferret, cage, and accessories. Worth $225. Will sacrifice for $175." Um, hellooo? That sounds like an add for a used and discarded engagement ring or something. Sheesh. Anyway, on a "Frasier" rerun the other night, Woody from "Cheers" was visiting. They were sitting around the table joking about a time when they had played a joke on Cliff by putting an angry ferret in his mailbag. Frasier's brother asked how you make a ferret angry, and Woody replied "Well, for starters, you put him in a mailbag!" I practically rolled off the couch laughing. I started out cringing, because I thought it would just have to be something bad (OK, call me a pessimist), but it came out great. Cheers to Frasier, no pun intended! ===== Aileen & the Herd Slinky, Gizmo, Kyle, Noel, & Sandy "It is a shameful thing that you should mind these folks that are out of their wits." -Martha Carrier, condemned Salem 'witch' [Posted in FML issue 2885]
