As Groucho would say, that is the funniest story I've ever heard, except
for the getting fired part. Bob, they made me wear a football helmet.
Later, my pop told my daughter and her husband and they laughed and
laughed. Later my daughter's cat had a litter of kittens. One was a Tabbyy
with a huge head and small body.
My daughter named it "Bobby Big Head" and threatened to make a little
helmet for the cat and take a picture. "Bobby" is the only one to survive
out of the whole litter and is chasing and kill9ing mice in Austin.
