This is funny...
For a time, my brother, tried to give away his cat, so he posted it on his local school newsgroup... this was his email to me, which was so funny that i kept it till now...
Elmo is the name of our cat (who now is happily in the home of another owner who is not as "twisted"...) I suggest reading the bottom two messages first.
<---- begin email ---->
What do you think? On the surface, this person appears to be interested in adopting Elmo. Or is she? I always wonder how serious people who inquire about Elmo really are. Are they really looking for a hugable, lovable pet for their child or, perhaps, for themselves. But for every inquiry I get, I can not help but to wonder about the person and if there may be some sick, twisted, hidden motive. Alas, today, this person writes and confirms my fear.
"What cat?", she asks. I did not answer. Does she have a fayevorite or particular breed that more suits her "taste"? "How old is it?", she asks, trying her hardest to pretend to show the tiniest bit of interest. Her insincerity betrays her. Once again, I did not answer. I did respond to her inquiry and patiently await her response...
Now, you readers must be wondering, "what did this poor girl do?" Nothing...as of yet, but read the following for yourself. And if you are not already, you might want to sit down for this one.
