Like A Cat With Its Head Stuck In A Fish Bowl

How many times have we been that cat? Here is the scenerio: We are seeking enlightenment for something that isn't as simple as we first thought. We are searching and digging deeper for the light. When we can almost reach our destiny...BAM! Our head gets stuck. Not only we stuck, but EVERYONE sees it...Of course, seeing leads to commentary. Women love commentary.Today was a "cat" day. My friend (how many times do we stick our issues on "imagined" friends? Be honest) made an honest comment about a co-worker. Apparently this co-worked has skin thinner than plastic wrap, so the innocent (maybe not so innocent) comment was blown out of proportion. Hard to believe? That was the beginning of my "friend's" cat moment. As my "friend" sought to rectify, albeit enlighten, the shocked audience, she became "stuck" in a clear fish bowl atmosphere. You know the one where the mob is ready to behead and quarter the offending commentator. So, what does an honest "cat" do when they're stuck? BACK PEDDLE.....VERY QUICKLY....Throw off the bowl and get their paws out of the area, FAST! The audience, having seen this display numerous times, eventually forgets the "cat" moment and waits for another. Just like waiting for a wreck during a NASCAR race, the audience knows it one more is just around the bend.Last Thought: My "friend" did not mean to impugn your integrity, but still believes you are paranoid and exaggerating.
