Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper, in his efforts to use diversion to help with deodorizing the Trump zoo stench, shares a boyhood memory of spending two days to buy BBs when the clerk at the Farmers’ Store apparently thought the kid standing by the peanut barrel with 15 cents in hand was simply snitching peanuts while waiting for his mother.
After being totally ignored on the first day, the keeper went back to his off-to-the-side peanut barrel post on the second day, and at some point the bald-headed clerk paused and looked at him and asked if he was an orphan.
The way this diversion thing works is that thinking about a kid being ignored next to the peanut barrel for two days is healthier than brooding about a stench-producing zoo overseen by a narcissistic ass who claims elephant attributes.
If this diversion tactic works for you, the keeper asks that you let Phyllis know as she is having trouble with it.
Have a good day on this bad Friday.
