Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?

A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

How does one spot this wolf? Are there signs? Red flags, if you will?

What if they’re REALLY GOOD at pretending to be sheep. They “baaaaa” well. I’m tellin’ ya…they sound astonishingly like a sheep. And, they even look astonishingly like a sheep.

How do you really know they’re a wolf until they bite you? Or, eat you, even.

One could argue that I should just know. It’s more obvious than I seem to think. However, when you really, really dig you some sheep, sometimes you’re easily fooled. Especially, when the sheep pretends to like you, and not merely want something from you. Even when you should probably know better, it still sounds good. To hear them “baaa” is nice. Sometimes.

Or, were they really dressed like a regular ol’ wolf, and because you wanted a sheep so bad, all you saw was the fluffy exterior of a sheep.

And, therefore, you have to assume responsibility because…after all, you should have seen it coming, right? Or, maybe you did…and dove in, head-first, anyway.

So you forge ahead, and somehow try to research a way to fix your broken wolf-detector. Again.

It's not a mistake to see white fluffy wool and hear a "baaaa", and assume that you're looking at a sheep.

But even a sheep can be dangerous, since they travel in herds and, like most herbivores, are prone to panic.

...though, if one were to take the analogy a bit further than it probably should stretch, one might note that wolves-in-sheep's-clothing are probably not traveling in packs. Not if they're hungry wolves, anyway.

The reason being...We don't want no sheep. That's why. LOL

If you figure out where the warranty work is done on your wolf detector please pass on the information to the general public.
