AFLAAAAAAAC!!!
The AFLAC guy came to my work yesterday to give us a nice talk and spiel
about the joys and benefits of insurance, and to sell as much as he could before he had to shlep all the way back to his office in Pennsylvania. We all got nice little folders with all the product information; and to those who expressed interest and/or signed on he gave a cute little stuffed doll of the company's mascot/spokes bird, a duck that quacks "Aflac...AFLAC...AFLAAAAAAAC! !!" when you squeeze it. This I knew was a recipe for trouble even before I left work. Besides the lady who did not express interest, who has a remarkable ability to come up with Anglo-Saxon obscenities to rhyme with duck and used it fluently when she went to complain about not getting a f***ing duck for herself, I knew I was going to have five little people at home who would have something else to say entirely. Two of our Ladies were too preoccupied with the immanent arrival of chow to pay my new little chotchkie much attention; and anyway, Roxie and Odessa think they're a little too dignified for such toys. This is only because the duckie didn't come with a bag full of kittyweed, because a little pinch of that forbidden herb cancels out any measure of dignity. And Brandy, after three years, had finally discovered she has a tail, and was quite engrossed in attempting to catch it. Sabrina and Stosh, however, were very intrigued with this new creatu what on earth was that peculiar thingy that makes such a racket? Sabrina stretched herself upward as sher stood up on the love seat in the living room, standing on her hind legs, taking a cautious paw to this funny little animal. Stosh sniffed it; I squeezed and he got that "WTF?! " look on his face and pulled back from it. Imagine this burly, big, macho 16 pound hunk of feline jumping back like he'd had a jack-in-the-box pop up when he'd least expectetd! Then Sabrina did the unexpected: she gave Stosh a shove out of the way so she might get a more thorough investigation, and did so without uttering a single foul word. Remarkable: out in the living room, and learning to interact without cussing or drawing back. I don't know how she's gotten such therapy, but I'm so thankful for it you cna't imagine... Last night she slept out on the living room furniture, just as the Good Lord intended a cat, next to the little AFLAC duckie. Blessed be, Baha -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |
