Your story reminds me of....
When I lived in Turkey, on the economy, guys would come around and ask to buy *anything* American.
My neighbor’s wife found out that they would pay $10. per copy of Playboy mags. Well, as it turned out, this gal’s hubbie subscribed to Playboy. The guy came around and paid her $100. for a stack of mags. Next day, he came back.....screaming at the top of his lungs in Farsi, he wanted this money back...b/c all the centerfolds were missing. The gal who sold the mags to the Turk had been ripping the centerfolds out and using them as a liner to the cat’s litterbox, b/c they *fit* perfectly. Good times. Good times.
I used to buy the “Charlotte Observer” just to line the snake’s cage.
LOL!
Good one! I love cats that appreciate art! My daughter always made sure PV had a good shot at reading Garfield.... She said they were both cats so PV would understand the humor. My daughter was nine.
