There was this man who returned to New York for a visit after 10 years working in Atlanta.

As he wandered the streets he stopped at an antique shop and decided to go in. On looking around he noticed a very strange looking bronze cat which had a tag on it saying, "Bronze Cat $30.00, Story $150.00".

The man was very curious and asked the salesman to explain.

"Well" said the man, "its just like it says, $30 for the cat and $150 for its story".

"I'll just take the cat", said the man.

"Very well, but you will be back" said the salesman.

The man left the shop with the cat in his pocket.

As he walked down the street he heard a strange mewing sound. On turning round he noticed there were a couple of cats following him.

The further he walked the more cats seemed to appear to follow him. As he got to the Brooklyn Bridge he turned to see about 1,000 cats behind him.

"Screw this" he said to himself and threw the bronze cat into the river. All the cats jumped into the river too and were drowned.

The man returned to the shop where he bought the cat.

"I knew you would be back, $150.00 for the story" said the salesman.

"Forget the story" said the man. "Have you got a bronze Mets fan?"
