Cal.E.'s Korner

Meow Z. Tongue: Calm down, d.c. If you want to leave your family not only heart broken but broke when you die, that’s up to you.

d.: Thank you, Meow. My family will not be broke if I die because my wife has a respectable job and I already have life insurance through The Kennel. So, I suppose you wasted this trip to Wayne Manor

to see Cal.E. Don’t let the doorknob hit you…

M.: Now, hold on, I have some other brochures you might be interested in.

d.: For what?

M.: It’s something every family needs, whether they know it or not.

d.: Go on.

M.: It’s the best thing to come along since the discovery of fire.

d.: Okay, you have my attention.

M.: Do you ever want to take a vacation, but don’t know where to go or where you and your family will stay?

d.: In a hotel, I assume…unless we’re taking a camping trip…but Eudora hates to camp. My sons did like to camp out when they were younger, but they’re all grown now and don’t want to spend so much time with their mom and dad in a confined space…But then, we do have the whole outdoors. So, if you’re selling tents, Meow, I’m listening. Blow my mind with y8our sales pitch.

M.: What I’m selling isn’t tents. It’s better than that.

d.: Okay, maybe a cruise trip, then? I don’t like cruises, as a rule, but the cruise to Alaska that Eudora gave me for my last…significant birthday was cool (hee hee). I enjoyed almost everything about that cruise, except when that storm blew in and almost capsized the cruise ship. I mean, can you imagine, a large vessel

like that laying on its side and all the passengers trying to get in a lifeboat…It seems like there was a movie about that in the nineteen nineties. It was about the Titanic sinking. Some say that the movie was historically accurate, but what are the chances that there were two people aboard who fell in love like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet did? They were playing the parts of teenagers. But they were both in their twenties when they played those rules.

You know, as a rule, I’m not a big Leo fan, but he makes good movies. I suppose he picks his roles carefully…

M.: Oh, for cat’s sake, d.c. I’m selling time shares! Will you please listen to what I have to say?

d.: If you’ll listen to what I have to say.

M.: N-N-Never mind. The next time I get bored when the bearded lady shuts the door before I can climb in bed with her, or she goes somewhere for five minutes without taking me with her, I’ll do something besides study to be a door-to-door sales associate. Good day.

C.: And good riddance, I’d say.

d.: And that, Cal.E., is how you get rid of an annoying sales associate.,

D.: Yes, d.c., ended Meow Z. tongues cat tail(e)

as well as today's blog post. We'll see y'all tomorrow right her on Cal.E''s Korner.
