There was a poster at the local seed mart looking for four
pawed athletes to try out for the “All Critter Cross Country Team.” Critters
with four paws of all sizes and species were welcome to try out. Their time
would be adjusted according to stride length, size and weight. The tryout only
had a few rules (1) no eating other athletes, (2) no performance enhancing gmo
seed diets, and (3) sneakers were required. I thought the last rule seemed a
bit odd, so, I called and asked. Apparently this is some sort of Board of
Health requirement. (I am afraid like you human beings, we have annoying and
completely useless bureaucrats too!)
Sneakers are a $230 billion dollar industry but not a single
company makes extra, extra, extra tiny sizes. The sneaker salesman made a heck
of an effort to earn a commission off me. It provided me with an entertaining
afternoon.
Exactly how do you put this on?
Maybe I am wrong, but, I thought this was suppose to
cover my paw?
The salesman talked me into trying a different model. I
asked him “How do you make it move?” According to the him, I am supposed to
make it hop along. I asked the salesman to demonstrate the technique. All the
customers in the store couldn’t stop laughing as the poor salesman tried and
tried to make it move.
The athletic committee discovered a loop hole in regulations.
The rules state that all athletes must have sneakers on at the start of the race. So, they
decided to use the sneakers as starting blocks. “Ready, set, go!”
Here is a video of our very funny salesman trying to move the sneaker.
