Amusing conversation bits

No, really, these things actually happen...

I had a phone call today from a couple wanting me to explain over the phone how to tell if their rabbit is male or female. We started with "flip the rabbit over on it's back" "how do I do that?" and went from there...

While trying to find the correct folder (filed by name last, first)... "What's your first name?" "We're the Smiths." Yeah, got that part. Trying to figure out which of the 2 dozen "Smith" folders to pull...

Irate client came back in complaining because when he gave us his debit card to pay his bill, he didn't expect the money to come out of his checking account.

And of course: "My rooster was acting funny, and I was just wondering if it might have the bird flu..."

Sort of makes you want to say "Yes, the rooster must have bird flu. Give it plenty of vitamin C and some chicken soup." Or maybe that's just me....

Though I will give the rabbit people credit since I have 4 female rabbits (second opinioned by at least 1 person each) and 1 fixed male in my bunny pen. And 3 Easter surprises.... I got to do "Hey wait, I don't HAVE a brown and white bunny in that pen, or a black one...." the other day. Hippity Hop, Easter's on it's way!

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - a certain German physicist

How do you turn a rabbit upside-down?! Good god!!

You (or at least I and most people in my experience) can't FIND testicles in a rabbit!!!! Or easily identifiable anything else! Lol! I'll bring all the bunnies to you to feel up. :)
Though I will say that many days your theory is an overridingly valid one... Lol

I'd do my utmost to yell them into intellectual adequacy

v-shaped scrotum that goes forward on the belly, doesn't hang down. same as the guinea pig you brought me to check.
