I was in a store yesterday when I was asked to donate a dollar to a charity.

Some background???

There are charities that team up with a store or market chain.

The charities, such as the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, March of Dimes and others, ask the stores to 'sell' a piece of cardboard to the customer. The customer then signs their name to the cardboard and gives it back to the cashier, who then will hang it at the front of the store....

In the past I have usually signed the names of dead presidents, movies stars or just written a silly note....

Yesterday I signed PetTalk.com.

I handed the cardboard back to the cashier and she looked at the "Pet Talk" address and then turned to me with a questioning glance....

I explained to her that it was a pet site and asked her if she had any pets....

"No, I live in an apartment and they do not allow pets....."

I turned away from her to finish bagging my groceries, out of the corner of my eye I saw that she had run another receipt from the cash register...



I turned to see what she was doing and..


She was carefully copying these letters on the piece of paper....

P-e-t-t-a-l-k.....


AHA!
Another member added to the cult....
