So, I adopted an impenetrabobble disguise. ---

But, as it turned out, it was actually _quite_ penetrebobble, and the squirrel got the drop on me. ---

So I pointed to the east, and when Moose and Squirrel looked that way, Natasha and I went west. ---

But east is east and west is west, and the wrong one I had chose. ---

So, we hopped on a northbound train, using the aliases Oliver Klozoff and Amanda Hugginkiss. ---

But a sidewinder missile knocked the train off its tracks, off the bridge and into the piranha-infested river. ---

So we were relieved when the cow from the previous part of the story landed right next to us in the river inexplicably (although missing a few limbs and having sears on it sides,) and the piranhas started eating it instead. ---

But I couldn’t find Natasha anywhere. ---

So, I placed a personal ad on Craig’s List, hoping to find a new femme fatale sdekick. ---

But I only got responses from catfish, including one who was supposedly a Scottish paraplegic. ---

So I gave the Scottish parapalegic catfish a call and arranged a meeting. ---

But she didn’t show. ---

So I said screw it and headed home to feed my starving dog. ---

So I made a note to get another cat from the pound later. ---

But the pound was ‘getting tired of this “dog ate my cat” nonsense’. ---

So they made me take a lie detector test. ---

But I failed on the question “Have you ever been arrested for loitering for the purposes of soliciting prostitution?” Regards, Shodan ---

So, I grabbed a random cat and ran for the door. ---

But the veterinarian grabbed a cat and pussywhipped me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656.md?page=6)
