I went into a flower shop today and I said to the woman, "Hi, do you have flowers for people that mess up? Not me, it's for a friend."
She said, "What did your friend do?"
"Why did you wink your eye when you said 'friend' just then. Are you a disgruntled botanist?"
She apologized and I said, "He accidentally duck-taped the family cat to the top of a tree. And, it was bird mating season, so it was ugly, so I'm told. The worst part was removing the duck-tape, that got ugly, too."
She said, "I bet, I can see the scratches all over your arms and face."
I replied, "That's from my wife. I mean, this is from a horrific can opening incident. So, do you have flowers that can make up for this?"
She said, "Tell your friend that he is a heartless, self-centered, mean-spirited, abusive loser. I'm calling the police!”
That was suspicious, so I fled the scene.

I'm glad you fled the scene. I mean, if you saw your friend duct tape his cat to a tree, you could be seen as accessory. And covering for your wife is kind, but she could claim that she thought you were going to duct tape HER to a tree and things could get really messy. I always duct tape my kids to the couch in front of the TV when I'm trying to get work done, but I have sharp scissors here and release them as soon as I'm done.

I think you misunderstood her, Russ! She was obviously talking to your friend, not you! You should go back and point your friend out to the police!
