When I was a little kid (way back!), we had an old country store that kept dried beans in a large barrel to sell by the pound. The old woman had a cat that had the run of the store.
As a joke, one of the old farmers squeezed a little bit of toothpaste right into the middle of the barrel. When the old storeowner passed by the barrel and happened to notice the toothpaste, he yelled "Irene, Irene! Get me the big spoon - that darn cat has sh!t in the beans AGAIN!" (Now, fun and games is ok, but when he said "AGAIN", all the old farmers took note and his sales of dried beans were drastically less for many months!)
Come to think of it, I don"t know why the farmers had a problem with the cat droppings. After all, the old man also ran a funeral parlor in the back side of the store and he did the actual embalming himself in the attached enbalming room. He also hand-sliced the bologna he sold from a long bologna stick - and he was very adept at (and took great pride in) his ability to slice the bologna into whatever thickness you preferred. As a kid, I always wondered how he got so good with that butcher knife. Now I think I know.............even if I really don"t want to think about it.
