Beyond the ridge, a coyote cried - high pitched, sharp, distinct - and was answered from closer at hand. Soon there were three or four singing, a happy chorus

of Acme sales representatives. Little known fact - Acme Products is the most popular multilevel marketing program among canines. Cur-cur-currency is the name of the program.

It's a pure bred pyramid scheme. Amway is actually for cats. There is a fee that all felines must pay to join and then they can get other cats to join. They have a lot of pride in

their pride. You see, it all started with the big cats. First the lions, then the tigers, cheetahs, and so on down the line. The problem with the Amway pyramid scheme for cats was

it wasn't very good. They escaped. They went mad. They started clawing everything in sight, like ginger werewlves hungry for blood, flesh, meat. But after all, they were only

their own homemade aprons. Crazy they were, but no one questioned their homemaking abilities. Monsters they were, but hardly anyone mentioned that anymore, for they always had

the best dinner on the table when I got home from work. It was like going to a gourmet restaurant every night of the week. And the way she cleaned house,

it just put the dwarves to shame. We knew it couldn't last, that happily ever after wasn't a plan, but we had hope and a desire to

open the barn doors for better or worse. Afterall, life ain't worth singing about unless there's a prince and princess somewhere fighting an evil queen. A quest. What more is love?
