- My mother-in-law used to have a nasty, spiteful, and generally
- sneaky little cat named Noko Marie the Snake. At one point she (my
- mother-in-law, that is) was having some construction work done on
- her house, and Noko attempted to ingratiate herself with one of the
- carpenters, who was eating a ham sandwich -- ham was Noko's particular
- favorite thing in the world. Not being much of a cat fancier, the
- carpenter stubbornly refused to share his sandwich.
-
- The following morning, my mother-in-law was awakened by a loud crash,
- accompanied by an anguished scream from the carpenter. She rushed over to
- the construction site, sure that he'd cut a finger off, at the very least.
- In fact, what had happened is that he'd left his tool belt lying on the
- floor overnight, and Noko had shat in the nail pouch. The carpenter,
- of course, didn't discover this until he was poised with his hammer in
- the air, holding up a panel or something, and reached for a nail.
