Missing ferret

[Dingdell]

So I get in today to find a note through the door as follows:

Missing Ferret - female called Chloe, looks like her brother Brock, small about 50cm long, less than 1kg, please note she is deaf. Please check your cellars and gardens - thank you.

Is it me or is the detail irrelevant? Surely "Missing ferret, please ring if seen" would have done? Lets face it - if I find a ferret in my cellar it's probably safe to assume that its the one that's missing??

So now I have a whole of questions, what does Brock look like to help me make sure it's the right ferret if I spot one in the cellar, what is the point of telling me the ferrets name - it's deaf - unless it lip reads it won't come if I call, and why oh why haven't they attached a photo to help with identification?

Always sad when someone looses a pet but.....

if when they generated their missing pet advert, they had in mind to make it tailor made to your proposed knowledge of said animal, then you might have some semblance of a point, but they likely didn't, so you likely dont.

They have lost a pet, they probably love it, and they are trying to include as much detail as possible when telling their local community about its disappearance to try and aid its recovery, and if its deaf, it will interpret your actions differently compared to an animal that has functional hearing, so if you find a creature matching its description, you can try and act with that in mind. I'm sure if you go speak to them about it, they will apologise about the excess information and amend it accordingly

The authenticating detail is to evoke empathy and make the reader more likely to acquiesce to the instructions in the final sentence.

They're trying to play you for a fool Tracey. I say fuckem, if you see Chloe, stamp on her deaf ass.

Have you asked Kev to check his bottom?

If it's deaf it will be white. (Or albino) It will look like this.







If you pick it up, make sure it knows you're there before you touch it.

PS- Don't squeeze it.

PPS- The ferret, that is....

Ding is going up in a lift in a very lavish department store when a young, beautiful woman gets in, smelling of expensive scent. She turns to Ding and says arrogantly: 'Romance by Ralph Lauren, £100 a bottle.'
Then another young woman gets in the lift, She also turns to Ding and says snootily: Chanel No 5, £150 a bottle.' A few floors later, Ding has reached her destination. As she gets out, she looks both women in the eye, then turns round, bends over and farts, saying: 'broccoli, 25p a pound.'
