Upon hearing the stupid bit

The cat flattened one ear the way cats do when they hear the unbelievable. Might as well use tinfoil as a verb while you're at it, the ear seems to suggest, as in the humans tinfoiled the day away, giggling to themselves as they dragged the string back and forth. Humans tinfoil around every day. Humans tinfoil their way through life. They tinfoil things up right and left. No doubt this cat would like those humans to tinfoil off, but it and the cats before it humor them instead, hoping in the end the humans are better at opening cans than they are at tying knots. Tinfoil those chunk draggers, the ear seems to say. Tinfoil them all.
