Once I had that same problem. Got tired of taping posters in the neighborhood searching for it. Now I keep it on a short leash and a muzzle when out and about...turns out to be a real chick magnet.
I've become the Frank Perdue of the boulevard with little chickens following me everywhere. YMMV
My husband was interviewed for a job with Purdue Chicken.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because he was running away from Frank Perdue!
Don’t feel too bad about that. I have a lot of days when the humor of a comment or situation escapes me. Which is why it seems sometime I’m ignoring those who crack jokes.
I’m surrounded by people who think they’re incredibly amusing. On those occasions when the Horde are expected to try to act like normal people, one of the elements is, “No attempts at humor are permitted.”
I just spent nearly an hour on the phone changing over my medical coverage from the one I had to a cheaper one. YAY!
This time, the foreigner at the other end of the line was British, from London, who apologized for her accent. My response, “You have an accent?” She did laugh when I told her I used subtitles when I watched British films because of the regional dialects. She thought English subtitles on British films was a hilarious concept. Then I explained that it helped me to “hear” a dialect better, so it didn’t sound so strange when I heard it again.
Anyway, it’s done. I’m good for another year.
Humor may try to escape me, but apparently I just club it into submission.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show the armadillo how it was done.
Well, I don’t just crack jokes. I break them into itty-bitty pieces. That causes people to walk right by them.
Actually, I really like your sense of humor. There are just days that I don’t understand it and that’s my fault, not yours!
As the sage Jimmy Buffett says, “If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.”
Congrats on the insurance and your chat with a Darling Little Accent person.
We have a new mini-floof in our house. She’s only 4-5 months old... A Calico-tabby. Apparently, relatively rare coloration...
She’s been in hiding for the last couple of weeks, but put in a brief appearance the other night. Our older cat, Belle, does not seem to be overly impressed with the new-comer...
How exciting! I hope she warms up to the rest of you soon.
We actually bought a wifi enabled security cam to try to keep track of her...
I wanted to call her Jibakurei, or ‘earth bound spirit’, but we may shorten it to Ghost... Still haven’t decided.
IIRC, he ended that little ode with, “If we weren’t all crazy we would all go insane.”
I could relevate to that.
I agree with Robert Redford in "An Unfinished Life." Why would you name a cat?
His granddaughter named it anyway.
Our science team coordinator has a cat that goes totally limp and lets the children carry it around. I think it has a name, but I call it DeadCat.
I like mini-floofs!
T-c, isn’t Shannon a calico-tabby?
Some floofs just need time to adjust and often the older floofs make their seniority known in unkind ways.
Sorry I missed your joke Covenantor. Some things just whiz right past me. :o|
Shannon has some tabby sections, yes.
My cousin used to torment the cat we grew up with. She would slide her arms under it’s chest/belly like a forklift and carry it around. I don’t know how she didn’t exsanguinate. That cat was cool.
You didn't miss it. Check your shoe.
