Ferreting Out the Truth

I was driving in Prescott on Thursday behind a Jeep Cherokee with a bumper sticker that looked like a "Got Milk" ad. But it didn't say "Got Milk". I had to drive up closer to read what it said. I thought my eyesight was going bad when I deciphered, "Got Ferrets". I decided to ride the tail of the Jeep in order to be sure. Yup. "Got Ferrets" it said.

I thought that was hillarious. A ferret nut. Instead of a single lady with 20 cats, she probably has 20 ferrets. Then I started to wonder where she got such a bumper sticker. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it, even at PetSmart or some other shop where pets are given the rank of humans.

I started to wonder if she got it from a ferret convention. Wouldn't that be funny? A bunch of ferret owners getting together. I wonder if they would be pretty much the same members that show up to a Star Wars convention. Are there specialized bumper stickers at those conventions, like Got Force? I dunno.

I wonder if it is a huge dating scene, these Ferret conventions. Don't get lovin' all year, but show up at one of these as a sad, dilapidated 40 year old woman and presto bango, serviced! (Although you were just serviced by a man named Jeff who has a potbelly the size of a 4' egg with balding hair he has grown out to his shoulders to make up for the bald patch in the middle who either has a job at a call center for customer service or is a cranky tech guy at some skyscraper Fortune 500 company.)
