Hey, we’re running pretty behind here. Any chance you could walk Wilbur for me tonight?

I think you have the wrong e-mail address. But since I’m a dog owner too, and I don’t want poor Wilbur to be stranded, I thought I’d write back and let you know…

Ah, sorry about that. New phone, so I’m typing in the address. Looks like I forgot a number. Wilbur and I both thank you. (And by the way, he’s actually a pig.)

Wow, a pig owner and a fan of Charlotte’s Web. You must be either a farmer or a librarian.

Let me guess then. You’re an underemployed dogwalker who’s been sitting by the computer in the hope that someone might ask you to walk something more exciting than a poodle?

Does that mean you’re a creepy old Internet predator using your pet pig as an excuse to stalk 16-year-old girls?
