I just remembered this. I was driving home from school yesterday when I saw a car on the interstate. It was decked out like a "just married" car with streamers, cans tied to the bumper, shoe-polish messages written on the window, etc.

The difference is that in big letters on the back window it said "JUST FIRED" and the messages were a combination of well wishes and things like the word "job" with a circle-slash over it.

I thought it was highly amusing.

So one of my cats, Indigo, was just by my chair meowing. He's the shyest one, having previously been a stray. He's the one who begs for attention, then ducks when you pet him. Anyway, he came in for attention, and I finished typing something, then reached down. I didn't meet fur. I met empty air. I looked down...he'd already moved on and was halfway to the door. My hand was still dangling by the chair, and he looked back and caught my eye... we had a shared moment of understanding... and he came back and deigned to let me pet him, and then left. But it was SO obvious that he only came back because he could tell I was disappointed. It was kind of hilarious, touching, sweet, and sad all at the same time.
