To be quite honest, I didn’t know there was much of a market for ferret transportation. I guess I’m just simple minded, since I thought ferrets were one of those rodents that only required a cage, water, and food every once and a while.
I did not know this interesting fact about ferrets. They need to be transported.
I’ve got a great idea for an ad for this business:
Bill: “Linda! The ferret’s gotta go to the mall!”
Linda: “Can you drive him, Bill, I’ve got my book club?”
Bill: “I’m playing cards with the boys! I can’t!”
Linda: “Oh heck! Well, now what are we going to do!?”
(At this point I envision a punk kid in skater shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and a backwards ball cap popping out of nowhere.)
Bro: “Don’t fret, chika! We’ve got this ferret transportation covered!”
Linda: “Who are you!?”
Bro: “We’re LITTLE DUDE’S FERRET TRANSPORT, and we’ll transport your ferret wherever it needs to go!”
Bill: “RADICAL!”
Linda: “OFF THE HOOK!”
Bro: “That’s right! Call 1-800-FERRETS now to get your ferret transported in luxury and style!”
That being said, I still am a little bit flabbergasted that there’s an actual market for this.
I also plan on writing a new hit movie, The Transporter: Ferret to Freedom.

For example: 
I never see any aircraft around. Ever.
To be honest, I’d like to see them try.
Once there’s a SCUD missile screaming towards my Honda Civic while I’m going 90 miles per hour, then I’ll consider slowing down.
Until then, I’ll stick with checking the alley lanes for state police.
