Goat — or ferret?

You don’t want to go confusing your goat with your ferret — and, really, there is no need.

You might try offering the creature a square of carpet. Eats it? Goat.

Or try and force it down a rabbit hole. It doesn’t fit? Goat.

Or set it loose in a chicken coop. It emerges all bloody with feathers round its mouth? Ferret.

Join in the fun if you like and offer additional ways to separate your goats from your ferrets.

    take out its devilish contacts and realize ‘not contacts’ … ferret.

    Blinded ferret.

    Spherical hard nuggets, goat.
    Long & slimey, ferret.

    shag, goat.
    Not shag, ferret.

    Shag? Goat.

    Slaughter? Ferret.

  6. Sheila Ryan on July 8th, 2009 at 2:04 pm

    Butt? Goat.

    Rend to shreds? Ferret.

    Saves owner’s life when furnace malfunctions? Ferret

    (Hey, Hilbert really did save mine, so it may not make you laugh but the reality of ferrets might make you smile.)

    Here’s some more reality:

    Hides $800 pair of eyeglasses at top of tall closet for 5 years: ferret

    Befuddles opposing team as a cheerleader so badly that dept wins the softball game: goat

    Composes music: ferret (See Telemna and piano in Youtube URL given.)

    Able to empty a huge flower pot in 5 minutes flat: Either one

    I love goats, and I love ferrets, and that’s a fact.

  9. Sheila Ryan on July 8th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    P.S. Telemna, the musical ferret, made my day. She is lovely, and so is her composition.

  10. Kathy Hilen-Smith on July 8th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    So you don’t bother to separate them?

  11. Sheila Ryan on July 8th, 2009 at 2:38 pm

    I leave it to the ferrets and the goats to sort themselves out.

  12. Rick Neece on July 8th, 2009 at 3:17 pm

    To separate them seems, somehow, unnatural.

  13. Rick Neece on July 8th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

    Now separating your ferrets from your weasels, that’s another story.

    Screwed your boyfriend behind your back and didn’t bother to offer a reach around? Weasel. Weaseley greasey fucking weasle.

    Ricky Cameron!

  15. Rick Neece on July 8th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

    Tee hee hee.

  16. Sheila Ryan on July 8th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    Telemna knows that a satisfying musical composition requires a resolution. I just love her all up.

  17. Rick Neece on July 8th, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    A sweet note to signify the end.

    Sou, sou sou.

  18. Michael Grant Smith on July 8th, 2009 at 8:39 pm

    I will trade you one show-winning breeding pair of ferrets for one pair of $800 eyeglasses.

    i dont like the way ferrets smell. I like the way goats smell. My neighbors used to have a ferret that would sneak under the screen door into my apartment. Stinky fucker. And they never relax. Not that goats relax, but they get away with it.

    Incidentally, parrots smell surprisingly good. I can’t get enough of it, especially their breath. So one could bottle parrot breath and sell it and I’d buy it.
