SAVE FERRETS???

I found this t-shirt at the thrift store last week.  Having been a ferret owner in the past, the t-shirt's graphic jumped out at me. But I was puzzled.  Save Ferrets? Huh?  And why was the ferret wearing clothes?  


I put the shirt in my cart just for the coolness factor, still puzzling over what the heck it meant.  The hubs lurked up from behind--something he's notorious for doing when we're thrifting--and I showed him the shirt.  "Why is the ferret wearing CLOTHES?" i don't get it."


The hubs smiled.  "Save Ferrets.  Save Ferris."  


Light-bulb moment!  Of course, the ferret is wearing an outfit just like Ferris Bueller from the movie FERRIS BEULLER'S DAY OFF.  Too funny!  I wanted to smack my head and go, "D'oh!" like Homer Simpson.  After all, Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite movies.  I can't believe I didn't make the connection.  


But hey, it made the hubs feel good that he got one up on me.  And I got a cool shirt.  You can't ask for more than that.
