Petey’s foibles precede him. He is famous for doing nothing. He has Little Neuro, and Alice’s friends have Petey.

We can neither confirm nor deny that Petey actually giggled.

I would like to deny the rumor that Marilyn Monroe is living in my guest room. She still occupies all the space between my ears as she has since the 60s, but has not moved. I’ll take 3 questions.”

In response to this announcement, Wall Street trading shot up 27 million per cent. Then it plummeted to 6 (-14 Celsius), reflecting concern over the effect Petey and Andre’s playdate would have on Prime Rate lending. At the closing bell, however, everything was back exactly where it began, which is probably just as well.
Nobody asked him, but Warren Buffett had this to say: “It just goes to show you.”

I want to know if they can confirm the so called “enjoyment” of this alleged playdate. What proof do they have that Petey is indeed “enjoying” his time with Andre?
