You've got to be kidding

I'm so embarrased......March 15th our community center (where I work out) is having a St Patty's Day Dinner and Dance. So i've been calling our neighbors that regularly attend these events to let them know I have tickets. The one neighbor can not see (remember this part) so he has to make sure the other neighbor lady can take him. Well I called her and she said yeah she'd like to go and tell Joe I can take him. (feel like an event coordinator) Just about 15 min ago a neighbor (yet ANOTHER one) stopped by to tell me our cows were out. As he's leaving someone else stops by to tell us the same thing. Well it ends up this other person has Joe in the car with him. I yell out the window (remember this part too) let me get Joe's ticket for him right now. I hand the ticket to the gentleman out on our deck. Well Joe decides he wants to pay me right now. He gets out of the car and rather then walk to the door, he walks to the window. So the path to the window is ice, snow and shit covered. SO what do you think happened....................
