I am typing this from Krispy Kreme, where I ordered a couple of donuts and
a pint bottle of milk. One of those little plastic bottles with a pull-off
milk ring.
I sat down, spread a napkin to put the donuts on, pulled the milk ring and
without so much as a thought, tossed the milk ring across the room.
The lady at the table near where the milk ring landed looked positively
scandalized. I blushed and went to pick up the milk ring, apologizing to
the scandalized woman, who gave me a disapproving glare.
The older woman at the next table over, however, leaned over, patted my
arm and said, "Some of us understand, dear. We have cats at home, too."
I was still embarrassed, but we (excluding the glarer) had a good laugh.
Hugs and Purrs

The scandalized lady would have been scandalized by something else soon
enough. Its in their nature. And you gave the other woman a good laugh and
a story to share.
Worth a bit of embarrassment.

LOL! I don't know if this is true, but it's funny, and it definitely

Oh it was true. I wish I'd gotten a picture of the scandalized lady. A
sourer face I have seldom seen - one of those people who are offended by
anything less than prim and proper...
Besides, when have any of my stories been *anything* but the full and
unvarnished truth (making bad "honest Boy Scout" gesture with a sober -
okay, nearly sober expression)? Why, the merest inferrence makes me grin,
er blush, er or something.
But this one was completely true. Um, like all the others.
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

The Heir Apparent to the prestigious position of Newsgroup Bard, last
occupied by David Yehudah. It's very important that all stories be 100%
solemn, undisputed Truth, as we all know David's stories were.

I for one believe that everything Mark Edwards writes is the full
unvarnished truth, just as David did, ;-)

Ah, but isn't he one of the originals of the "Three Daves and a

Yep. I'm the.. uh... the... Mark. Yeah, that's it.
'The Original Mark'. Sounds a bit like 'The Original Sin'. Hmmm. Also, the
'G' stands for 'Walter'.

The question is, was it your tossing of the milk ring, or the fact that
your clothes are probably covered with cat hair that tipped her off? :)
> I was still embarrassed, but we (excluding the glarer) had a good laugh.
I think the glarer might need to get a life?

I loved your story.
I usually save a little from my meal for the cats and have to remember not
to do this when I eat out or I'm at someone home.

LMHO!!! That's the reflex in this house, too. Captain and Stanley love
those things!
Then again, the Stripe Committee loves anything they can bap all over
the house. :o)

Poor glarer, probably wouldn't know what fun was if she tripped over
it. Pay her no mind. And remember to take that milk ring home for the
kitties! :o)

doesn't have any pets, so ptttfffthhhtt to her. And a pat to the nice
lady with cats.
