So Punky and Stinky were tormenting each other yesterday - Stink seemed to hover just out of reach of the toddler, only to trot off every time Punky made a move towards her and circle back around to start the game again.

As Punky went after Stink yet again, Big Scary Man told her "Make sure you pull that tail off when you catch her!" which brought an immediate reprimand from Mama. BSM looked at me all innocent - "What? we're going to Wal-mart later. They are the nation's biggest re-tailer."

He is so not funny.

It pains me to say this, but his final comment may be a little funny. (not the coaching to pull tails part)

A house without cats is like a garden without flowers

That made me chuckle a bit......but only after I groaned big time.

Groan- your hubby must be related to mine. Years ago, when we were camping, I forgot a broom to sweep out the tent. The grocery store had one, and the bag boy who was maybe a day over 16, asked hubby if he wanted it bagged, and the reply was "no, it's fine, she'll ride it home". The poor kid didn't know what to do or say!
BTW, Wally-world is the cheapest place for kitty litter.

I am guilty of a comment like this that recently backfired.

A group of us were all out for dinner and the waitress picked up our credit cards/bills to ring us out. One person had cash and said they'd need change. When I handed her the pile of credit cards and bills, I said, we'll need change, too...

A few minutes later she came with our bills and all was fine. We were getting ready to leave and she came running over with add'l credit card slips showing "$0.00 Change" on the bottom.

She was young and thought I was serious. She wasn't joking when she handed them to us, wanted to know if these slips would work... I told her yes, and apologized for adding extra to her work with my joke... (tipped her well, too).

My friends gave me such a hard time for harrassing a young waitress (she was maybe 20).

Groan...

Years and years ago I had a roomie who was a computer programmer. Whenever there was a data transmission slow down with a stores' computers, or with the (infant) internet at home, he would joke it was the result of compression on the phone lines running under the roads - there were too many cars out there at the moment. Eventually I heard several other people making similar cracks so I thought it was a widely known computer geek joke.

Until the day I was helping a man at my job who told me he was a programmer as he complained about our registers rebooting mid-transaction the last time he had shopped there. So I quipped, "Oh! there must be too much compression on the cables - all those cars you know..." Guy stood stock still, looking at me quizzically while he thought it over before he started asking me questions. I was so flustered I couldn't tell if he thought I was serious and he was jerking my chain, or if he was serious and believed it was true and wanted to know how it happens.

I don't pull jokes anymore, I'm not good at it.

groooooooooooooooooannnnnnnnnnnnn
