Caterwaul.

I just got my shirt and jacket back from the dry cleaners.  There’s more cat hair on them now then when I dropped them off.

I can just see the employees: “Oh my God, these clothes actually need to be cleaned.  We’ve been in business six years and we have no idea how to operate any of this equipment.”

“Oh no!  What do we do?”

(One of them pops a Mentos.)

“We’ll throw them into a room full of cats.  They’ll cover the clothes and make them look all the same.”

When I sent back the invitation for the wedding this weekend, I wish I had indicated that I couldn’t attend--but would like to send “1 hairball” in my place.

i am glad that you share my deep appreciation for mentos advertising.

so would it be funnier if i made a comment about “hanging your hairsuit from the lowest rung”, or if i went with some kind of “hirsute suit” punniness?

actually neither of those is going to top the mentos allusion.

Now that’s some fresh thinking.

But how sure are you that the new hairs on the suit are feline? Perhaps the hairs came from a ritzy fur coat and now your suit is worth even more.

Could have been worse.  The hairs could have been of the short and curly sort.
