Some of you know that one of things that I do for a living is that I tune and service acoustic pianos.
Last week, I went to a small town near where I live to tune a piano in a home.
One of the sons let me in the door. As I normally do, I asked for a glass of water. The son came back and gave me a glass of water. I set the glass of water on the carpeted floor by the piano.
After about 45 minutes of tuning the piano, his mom came home and I then greeted and met her.
There came a time shortly after that, when I needed to go into the kitchen area to ask the mom about something. When I returned to the piano, I noticed that the glass of water was knocked over, but there appeared to be no water on the carpet.
I thought to myself, "That's funny. I thought that surely I would have noticed knocking over the glass of water."
Anyway, I took the glass to the kitchen, filled it up and proceeded to continue drinking out of it and kept it on the floor by the piano as I had done before.
After continuing tuning for awhile, I heard something...
I looked down to see the family pet, a rather old Bassett Hound, happily drinking out of my glass of water!
Kind of gross, right?
