If you, while wearing black leather shoes, accidentally step into a

Ha!

Been there done that, got the t-shirt!

It was about 20 years ago... but in my case it was those white leather
Addias...

IIRC, it wasn't all that amusing when it happened... but everyone else
seemed to think it was hilarious! Have a photo around here somewhere.

When I was in high school my brother left some used motor oil in a
plastic pan and the cat jumped into it. The cat was soaked halfway up
his body. I put him in the tub and used lots of dish soap to clean off
the oil. The poor cat just howled the whole time I was cleaning hime
off.
