Satchel says, "I wish I could enter this agility contest. It looks so fun?" Bucky says, "So do it." Satchel says, "Look at the dogs in these pictures, they're all, like, professional herders. I'd embarrass myself!" Bucky says, "Satchel, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, I wanted to enter a cat show." Satchel says, "But you didn't and now you regret it every day of your life?" Bucky says, "Oh, no, I did it. Poofed my hair up like a chiia pet and put on the biggest ribbon I could find. I did it, Satchel." Satchel says, "So you're saying it was all about the experience?" Bucky says, "Oh, no, I wanted the $500 prize." Bucky says, "I did everything to ensure I'd wint that money. I may have been uncomfortable. I may have compromised my values, but I did what I had to do to win." Satchel says, "Wow. What did you do with the $500?" Bucky says, "Oh, I didn't even make it out of the Siameses. Humiliating." Bucky says, "The candy corn I was using as a false tooth fell out when the judge came by." Satchel says, "But it was a character-building experience?" Bucky says, "Not really. I had to steal $150 to pay the entrance fee." Satchel says, "So are you saying I should just try my hardest?" Bucky says, "Good lord, no. Just nip in and take the blue ribbon while all the nerdlingers are running through tubes."
$150 entrance fee to compete for $500? And they say cats aren’t dumb!
