Getting Even, from Desley Booktigger
One December day we found an old straggly cat
>> at our door. She was a sorry sight starving,
>> dirty, smelled terrible, skinny, and hair all
>> matted down. We felt sorry for her so we put
>> her in a carrier and took her to the vet.
>>
>> We didn't know what to call her so we named
>> her "Pussycat." The vet decided to keep her for
>> a day or so. He said he would let us know when
>> we could come and get her. My husband (the
>> complainer) said, "OK, but don't forget to wash her,
>> she stinks." He reminded the vet that it was his
>> WIFE that wanted the dirty cat, not him.
>> My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye.
>> The vet calls my husband 'El-Cheap-O',
>> and my husband calls the vet 'El-Charge-O'.
>> They love to hate each other and constantly
>> 'snipe' at one another, with my husband getting
>> in the last word on this particular occasion.
>>
>> The next day my husband had an appointment with
>> his doctor, who is located in the same building,
>> next door to the vet. The MD's waiting room and
>> office was full of people waiting to see the doctor.
>> A side door opened and the vet leaned in - he had
>> obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight
>> at my husband and in a loud voice said, "Your wife's
>> pussy doesn't stink any more. We washed and shaved it,
>> and now she smells like a rose. Oh, and, by the way,
>> I think she's pregnant. God only knows who the father is!"
>> Then he closed the door.
>>
>> Now THAT, my friends, is getting even!
