True story here. I went to the post office yesterday + picked a pkg. for my Daughter in Law, labeled cat castle/house. you get it, a cat play building. The ladies in the P.O. got a kick out of the name so I told them the old one about the sweet little old lady who's son takes such good care of her. "oh yes, he is very rich + sends me money all the time. He's in the veterinary business you know. He has a cat house in Reno, another in Vegas, + another in L.A." The P.O. ladies just howled.

Funny one for sure.
I'll bet they got a kick out of that.

Yes they did. Between telling them jokes + bringing by pies at Christmas they don't scowl at me anymore when I bring in boxes of lead to ship.

When I was building a house for my cats.

In would tell every one I was building a CAT house.

The wife would give me a dirty look.

I had a lever connected to a jammed air pressure cylinder let loose last week and hit me in the jaw resulting in some stitches. I volunteer at a senior center and one of the 80-90 year olds asked me couple days later (there was a group of ladies there) if I had cold sore on my lip, as it was red & scabbed over. So I said no, then told all the ladies about my mishap. She followed up that she was wondering because she also had a cold sore on her lip. So I said, "Well, I don't remember us kissing, should I?" and that broke up the entire table of ladies.

You must have started delivering the pies AFTER our lead transactions.

You got that right! It's called diplomatic relations.
