Ok, let me set the picture...
This past summer we had a sprinkler system installed in our front yard and new sod put down.


My dad decided it was time to fertilize the yard. He grabs a bag of fertilizer and pours it into an empty tidy-cat bucket. (He carries the bucket around and tosses handfuls out on the lawn.)

We live on a corner lot with four way stop signs.

Some guy pulls his motorcycle up to the curb and says, "Excuse me, sir. Can I ask you a question?" Dad, thinking this guy's going to ask for directions, nods. The guy proceeds, "What exactly does kitty litter do for you yard?"

Dad told him (and how he kept a straight face, I'll never know...),
"When we water, the clay helps lock in the moisture."

"Huh. Well, your yard sure looks good. Thanks!" And he rolls away...


Somewhere in this town, some poor soul's buying cat litter and it's not for the litterbox! lol
