OK! OK! There’s Fido having a quiet nap dreaming about tennis balls in the park and all the doggy friends racing around and trying to steal each other’s tennis balls, when out of the corner of his dozy eye he sees something he can’t quite believe – The biggest ‘Mater Freaking’ Tennis Ball you’ve ever seen and it’s bouncing, weaving, tinkling and then stopping and fiddling with Fido’s letter box – It’s a dream, it’s a huge dream, and it’s come true all for Fido.
Fido leaps out of his slobbery slumber and races out to grab his mega Tennis Ball before the mutts down the road get an inkling of what’s happening!
The Postie sees Fido tearing down the garden path at him and high tails it to the station to hand in his resignation – Even his “Tennis Ball Mobile” can hardly catch up!
This ludicrous daily occurrence plays out in just about every street in every town in every country that dresses their post office employees as GIANT TENNIS BALLS.
This would be funny if it wasn’t that serious.
It doesn’t take Einstein to work out why yellow attracts the attention of canines.
It doesn’t take proof to work out that canines have teeth.
And it doesn’t take half a brain to work out that canines and tennis balls connect by teeth – ANY SIZED TENNIS BALLS – THE BIGGER THE BETTER!
C’mon guys! There has to be a better way.
There are other colours in the colour swatch besides canary yellow within which we can outfit these good folk and keep them safe at the same time.
There are bright fluoro blue-greens and reflective silvers and bright whites with flashers – The list goes on.
Now if you or your loved ones are employed as tennis balls waiting to be tossed around the park, you should stop, think and then dress the bosses up the same way and take them to visit Fido and his mates.
I’ll guarantee that you will be given shiny new outfits before the next RUN!
