Conference misery::feline_v1

    Though not exactly the same thing, I recall seeing on television
    (60 minutes comes to mind, but for some reason I don't think that's
    right) that once your cat died, you could have the cat freezedried,
    in any position you wanted, so that you could have your pet around
    forever once the pet died.  They also could freezedry dogs.  But,
    apparently there is some legal reason why they can't freeze dry
    people.
    
    The details excape me right now.   Anybody else remember seeing
    that?

    Is this FOR REAL??????  Oh God, what next?
    
    Sorry I don't have anything informational to say, but for some strange
    reason these two notes have really hit my funny bone.  I guess it's
    all so bizarre what else could I do but laugh!

    P.S. If you go to the Roy Rogers Musium in Navada, you can see Triger
    and Bullet.  I think they are stuffed not freeze dried!
             

    
    
          In reply to the original note:
    
          I almost died when I read it.  You see my sister had a friend
    that worked as a receptionist at a vet's office.  The shoe was on
    the other foot in this case because the vet was disgusted that two
    women who were having their male cats fixed wanted their "dangly
    part" to dangle from their rearview mirror in their cars.  Just
    like the dice they said ????  I thought this story was just one
    of those weird ones but I guess not.  Yuck!!!!!!!!
    
                                                                kim

    Sorry folks, funny yes - disgustinggggggg  YES!  yuk

    Whatdya all think that vet would do if his wife asked him to get
    a vasectomy?

    Here I am again, red faced and somewhat embarrassed ...
    
    Let me explain ...
    
   
    It was my girlfriend who made the initial telephone call to the
    vets in order to book the cats in for their operation. It was she
    who told me of the vet's peculiar question (namely do we want the
    dangly bits, or can his wife have them for the christmas tree).
    
    I actually put the basenote into this conference before I went to
    collect the cats from the vets that evening.
    
    When I arrived at the vets, the receptionist asked me to wait a
    moment while someone fetches the cats from the surgery. The
    receptionist also dissappears into the surgery and emerges a few
    minutes later with a small, plain, brown envelope, obviously containing
    something not flat(!!!). She placed it on the desk next to me. My
    heart and stomach did strange things to one another. "My cats dangly
    bits!" I thought to myself. What would I do with them ? Maybe have
    them mounted and placed in a trophy cabinet ? My girlfriend was
    standing next to me. I turned, horrified, to face her. Her expression
    said nothing, but she knew what I was thinking. The receptionist
    picked up the envelope, and placed it on top of a filing cabinet.
    As she moved it, the box of pills inside rattled furiously! Someone
    else's pet's prescription!!!! I almost exploded with hysterical
    laughter. The kittens emerged from the surgery and I was handed
    no dangly bits of any description.
    
    When I got home, I told my girlfriend how I had placed a note in
    this conference. Between fits of laughter she explained to me that
    she was only joking!!!
    
    I'm still a bright shade of pink now!!!!
    
    Sorry for the misleading base note! I suppose I'll have to find
    something else for a key-fob now!

    Wonderful - your girlfiend (not a typo) has a great sense of humour
    - tho' you probably don't appreciate it right now!

    Cute!!!!  I can't stop laughing...
    
    re a few back:
    
    There was a show on t.v., carole burnette, and her friend had her
    black cat freezdried.  It was awful at first to think of it, however
    the story line was funny (it kept disapearing...)

    The show was Mama's family, with Viki Lawerance-Shultz (she got her
    start on the Carol Burnette show after winning a CB look-alike contest).

    Too bad the vet was only kidding.  It would be nice to keep them
    around incase the cat ever came to you to settle the argument of
    "Who was the most manly one!"  You know, those arguments they always
    have after a few brews during their Friday night poker games!
