Where I was, and other matters

Yesterday afternoon, I had a couple of very urgent matters that had to be taken care of in another jurisdiction. Yesterday morning, I made arrangements for a friend of mine to cover what I thought was my only matter on the afternoon docket. Well, unbeknownst to me, another of my clients also came up on that same docket. Supposedly, this exchange took place:

Court: "Walt, will you be handling Disney for Tiger?"

Walt: "I will be glad to do so, your honor, but in this case maybe we ought to refer to him as Tigger."

I understand that there was several off the cuff remarks made afterward about what Winnie the Pooh and I might have been up to yesterday.

So, after I returned from Court this morning, I stopped to share this story with my friend who owns the store behind which I live. His 6 year old daughter, Cheyene, hearing everyone laugh at my story, decided to tell me a joke she had just read off the wrapper of a piece of Laffy Taffy: "What do you call a cold pup standing on a rabbit?"

I was trying to think of something on a hare/hair, and could not come up with an answer. She delighted in telling me it was a chilly dog on a bunny. Quite funny and punny, I thought, this chilly dog on a bunny.

She then began to tell me several cross the road jokes that she was making up on the fly, but one of these was actually quite humorous: Why did the rabbit cross the road? To get to the hair salon.*

*She had actually used the term hair shop.
