Just A little Funny

[anotherbob]

I was doing a survey and it had a question about what kind of pets you have. One of the options was "don't know". I can't help imagining someone with some type of alien or mutant creature. Or I think it's a dog but I can't be sure. Just something that gave me a chuckle.

One of the options was "don't know".

I could imagine Embers having to choose that answer.

Heh, for some reason this reminded me of that time when my Ukrainian friend asked one of the hutterites at the local garden market, many years ago, if they sold hamsters to butcher and make soup. The baffled girl asked him, 'hamsters!!??' My friend replies, 'yeah, yeah, hamsters! To eat!' Gal was looking at him like 'WTH is this guy on??' So, she answers, 'no, no', and we walked away from the stall.

So, I ask him, 'what was all that about?' And he goes on about hamsters and starts describing the animal to me, 'yeah, hamster, you know, red crest, crows in the morning...', and I'm like 'd'oh!! You mean ROOSTER!!!'

My wife and I, on a visit to Paris, visited La Jardin des Plantes (likely butchered my French) and saw a male mallard duck that seemed to need some attention to a broken or injured leg. So on our way out, we stopped by the administrative office and tried to describe the disabled animal. Our poor language skills gave them to understand that we had brought a dog with us which was purple and green and we wanted help finding it. It took us some time and a small tin of canned duck to get our message across, after which everyone was much amused. My wife and I laughed all the way back on the subway, causing further bewilderment from onlookers. We never found our purple and green dog.

Could be a baby hippo or a hamster... not sure.
AND not mine.

Is it scratching the inside of your colon or just wiggling around a bit?

yea

Sometimes its hard to imagine there was a human in charge of the survey, maybe if you sent them the question back, "Was this survey written by a human?" they would respond "don't know".

I dunno what to say. We have 1 cat and 1 dog to be sure but we also have something that might best be described as a wererat. Insanely vicious most of the time and super sweet and loving a small portion of the time. Most excellent burglar alarm though. She can tell the difference between the sound of regular neighborhood car doors closing and other, not regular, doors.

I'd count her as "not sure". I suppose she could be some sort of alien but she's best as described as having the cuteness of Gizmo the gremlin but the attitude of spike the gremlin. Maybe she's a gremlin? Or a midget chupacabra?

yes pretty close to the scene I got in my head when I saw that answer.

I’d say that answer might apply in some cases......

Ah... the famous and often spoken of, Jackalope!

THATS NOT A REAL PIC I DONT THINK

 

[mso489]

Questionnaires often go astray before they get to the people intended to fill them out. A recent marketing survey from an online pipe and tobacco outfit asked which of the listed pipe brands was my last pipe purchase, and of course, none of those brands was the last I had purchased. Hence, surveys are often misleading in themselves.

If I had a pet I couldn't identify as to species, I believe I'd work on that.

that raises the question of what's in your pipe, not a real pic. Seriously the only thing amazing about that photo is the person who took it survived long enough to snap the picture though.

the thing is on a lot of the other questions I don't know is a sensible answer. Almost like they got into a habit of using it as an answer and kept it in on this question.
