A friend of mine sent me an email the other day with a list of "Great things little children have learned". Now, I have probably received this list a few hundred times. Once when email first started, again when my sister discovered the internet and again as friends and family discovered the "WOW, this great" internet. I do believe that my family invented "SPAM". As each one "discovered" the internet, I would get a fresh wave "Send your old Nike's to...", "If you send this email to 25 friends, you will get...", etc... But when I received this the other day, I really had to laugh. The Cat and the Dustbuster reminded of an incident when I was in the military.
I was stationed in Denver. Four of us shared a house and one of the guys had a couple of cats. My friend, let's call him David (cause that's his name) was mildly allergic to cat dander. Not itching, puffy eyes or hives type of allergy. Just the sneezing type. David would stop by Powderhorn National Bank, actually it was a liquor store but we called it that casue the owner let military people float checks there, picked up a 6 pack of Miller Lite tall boys and head home. By the time he got home he may have 1 or 2 left which he would share with me. Let me say at this point, "DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE". OK the disclaimer is out of the way. Now comes the part about the Cats and the Dustbuster. As he walked through the door he would scoop up the cats and head to the bathroom, close the door and turn on the shower and bathe each cat using shampoo and conditioner. And then blow dry the cats with a hairdryer. The first few times he did it, he would come out with his wrist in shreds. But over time the cats got used to it and didn't claw him up much.
I have laughed at and shared this story with many friends over the years. And David, where ever you are, shoot me an email sometime.
