Plot

Jim Connors buys his wife a new coat, but neighbor Harvey Jones tops him by buying his own wife Gladys a mink. Nora Connors doesn't mind a bit, but Jim, a debt collector for a department store, becomes self-conscious about his income.

An off-hand remark by Gladys gives an idea to Nora to buy a couple of actual minks and bring them home. Although the animals are caged, they create problems with neighbors and with the city, which wants assurances Nora is not starting a fur business. She decides the family should move to the country and do exactly that.

Cast
gollark: My journal is stored electronically, and I do somewhat want that, and it would be annoying if I lost my large media libraries.
gollark: I store a bunch of data on a ~10-year-old 7.2krpm HDD and the last backups are from August or so, fun™.

gollark: According to the interweb™ you get 80 to 160MB/s or so from a HDD.
gollark: Gigabit is 125MB/s or so minus overhead, and HDDs can do that fine.
