Trivia number 55

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

In the early stage version of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy’s faithful companion Toto was replaced by a cow named Imogene.  According to the National Retail Federation, Americans spend $310 million on pet costumes last Halloween.  The last one for today is: Jacuzzi is a brand name. You can also buy Jacuzzi toilets and mattresses.

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.   Wise Custom Realty is hiring in AR., PA., MO., CO., and OK., call me for details.

 Good morning, James. Maybe they could not house train the dog and they had to settle for an alternative. But then, there is that methane gas/greenhouse/ozone depleting byproduct from cows.

Good morning, James.... nothing irritates me more than to see a comment in MLS for a jacuzzi tub and the tub is not jacuzzi brand but a lasco or american standard.... it should just be described as a "jet tub"...

Cows and jacuzzi beds it way to much to absorb this early.

Hi James,

This is insane 310 million on pet costumes? Confusing to me.

Have a good day in Rogers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Good morning James,

Do the mattress and toilet also have jets?

Make yourself a great day.

James,

The jacuzzi tub was invented by a Jacuzzi family member.  They had a brother who was handicapped and found that a jetted tub relieved his aches and pains.  The Jacuzzi's also own a winery in Sonoma County.  A

James- I just can't imagine Imogene the Cow riding in the basket on the bag of the old witch's bicycle.

I agree cows and jacuzzi beds makes no sense. $310 million dollars on pet costumes I can believe. People in the United States spend money on the craziest things.
