The Next Best Thing?


My mom's best friend's daughter was going away to college in a very urban part of the country--one where the traffic is so heavy, there are ordinances against driving one person to a car during rush hours. My mom's friend went to a novelty shop in Boone in search of a life-sized doll that her daugther could put in the passenger seat to look like there were more than one person traveling in the car. My mom's best friend has a wacky sense of humor, but other than that she's pretty much as straight as they come. She's one of those fun moms who says you don't need alcohol to have a good time, and means it. Anyway, she went into this shop and asked for a life-sized blow up doll. The clerk was back in the back for a long time then finally came back out holding an inflatated sheep and said, "We're all out of human dolls but we have this sheep. Will this do?"
