awkward segue

so how would you go from a story about there being no petting zoo at the fair this year to the weather?

the anchor here (channel 5) tried something like, "well, no one's going to be petting anything this weekend.... unless they really have to, um, it's going to be rainy." maybe my mind is just in the gutter, (okay, not maybe, it is!) that cracked me up. yep, lots of people stuck indoors.... no petting.....bwa ha ha ha haaaaaaaa. (insert ms. slocombe cat joke here)
