The Right Pet / /\ ". _......_ ." /\ \ / / ` ` \ \ ( ( /' _ __ `\ ) ) A devout couple felt it \ /| /0} {0\\ |\ / important to own an equally ` | / \/// | ` devout pet. So, they went \ \ / \ / / shopping. At a kennel `\ \| .==. |/ /' specializing in this `\\.' \ / './/' particular breed, they jgs /`'._-^^-_.'`\ found a dog they liked. `""` When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went home--devoutly. .-. That night they had friends over. They were so __| |__ proud of their new pet and his major skills, they [__ __] called the dog and showed off a little. The | | friends were impressed, and asked whether the dog | | was able to do any of the usual dog tricks, as jgs | | well. This stopped the couple cold, as they '-' hadn't thought about "normal" tricks. Well, they said, "let's try this out." Once more they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the command, "Heel!" Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head. ================================================================ +------------ Bizarre Celebrity Hypochondriacs ------------+ Howard Hughes was so obsessed with health that he once wrote out nine-step instructions to his housekeepers on how to open a can of fruit. He used Kleenex tissues on everything, and refused to touch doorknobs or let other people use his bathroom. He even kept a urine collection, purportedly for medical testing. Charles Darwin was a life-long hypochondriac who kept a daily diary for six years that featured a running commentary on the state of his health. Napoleon Bonaparte had a lifelong fear and hatred of medicine. To combat his hypochondria, he took steaming hot baths, and developed meticulous grooming habits. He suffered a plethora of maladies, most of them the result of stress, including: skin disorders, ulcers, dysuria, and a nervous cough. Alfred Lord Tennyson was beset by seizures, fits and trances, which included seeing animals floating across his field of vision. He was obsessed with going bald and blind. Among the treatments he sought was a radical form of water therapy called hydropathy, which included being rolled naked into blankets and then plunged into water. Essayist H.L. Mencken suffered an obsessive-compulsive need to continually wash his hands. Among his real-or- imagined maladies was a chronic sore throat, hives, low blood press-ure, lumbago, sinus infections, ulcers, and hemorrhoids. ========================================================== >-->From Our Friend Linda :) \WWW/ / \ /wwwww\ _| o_o |_ \WWWWWWW/ (_ / \ _) _.'` o_o `'._ | \_/ | (_ (_) _) : ~~~~~ : '.'-...-'.' \_____/ (`'---'`) [ ] jgs `"""""` `"""""` >Q&A funnies...

The Jew, known for his skills as a businessman, says that black bras are rare and that he is finding it very difficult to buy them from his suppliers. Therefore he has to charge $50.00 for them. The Chinese guy buys 25 bras. He returns a few days later and this time orders fifty. The Jew tells him that they have become even harder to get and charges him $60.00 each. The Chinese guy returns a month later and buys the Jew’s remaining stock of 50, and this time for $75.00 each. The Jew is somewhat puzzled by the large demand for black size 38 bras and asks the Chinese guy, "...please tell me - What do you do with all these black bras?"

One summer day, they noticed a girl who was at the beach almost every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around and then speak to them. Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off. But occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money and something that she carried in her bag. The couple assumed that she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure, they decided to just continue watching her. After a couple of weeks the wife said, 'Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?' He hadn't and said so. Then she said, 'Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing..' Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave.. The man then walked up the beach and met his wife at the road. 'Well, is she selling drugs?' she asked excitedly. 'No, she's not,' he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have. 'Well, what is it then? What does she do ?' his wife fairly shrieked. The man grinned and said, 'She's a battery salesperson.' 'Batteries?' cried the wife. 'Yes!' he replied.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin. 1. What do you put in a toaster? . . . . . . . . . . Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.. 2. Say 'silk ' five times.. Now spell 'silk..' What do cows drink? . . . . . . . . . . Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3. 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from? . . . . . . . . . . Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why the heck are you still reading these??? If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4. 4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land'? . . . . . . . . . . Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question 5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.. In Swansea three people get off and five people get on . In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on.. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What is the age of the bus driver? . . . . . . . . . . Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own age ? It was YOU!! Now pass this along to all your friends and pray they do better than you. PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!! --- ...Has it been a year already? My how Time fly's!

I kept thinking, with friends like this, who needs enemies? The adventure happened in Milwaukee where police said a drunken, sword- wielding man meant to attack his 'friend', but assaulted the wrong person, severing the victim's pinky finger. Officers said the 24-year-old assailant was so drunk on his way to the apartment that he hit several cars parked on a nearby street. While en route to his friend's apartment in the building, he attacked one door with the samurai-like blade, causing a lot of damage. He apparently kicked in and struck a second door with the weapon, police said. When someone opened the door, the man went after him with the sword, severing a finger. Police said the victim -- who did not know his assailant -- forced the man out of the building. An off-duty police officer who lives nearby heard the commotion, arrested the man and took him to jail. *-- Dog transports keys for golf course --* CHARLESTON, Maine - Officials at a Maine golf course said they are employing their 6-year-old golden retriever to bring golf cart keys back to the clubhouse. The owners of the White Tail Golf Course in Charleston said Kaleigh's job started as a joke when a golfer handed the keys to the dog to see if she would bring them back to the clubhouse, WABI-TV, Bangor, reported Thursday. The owners said Kaleigh now spends most of her days bringing keys to the clubhouse from golfers who are finished with their carts. *-- Sheriff adopts two cats for jail inmates --* LINCOLN, Neb. - A Nebraska sheriff said inmates at his county jail have been caring for two cats he adopted to help the men feel "a lot more at ease." Lincoln County Sheriff Jerome Kramer said jail inmates have recently been volunteering at a local animal shelter and their work inspired him to adopt a pair of cats for the prisoners to take care of, KNOP-TV, North Platte, Neb., reported Thursday. "I asked myself, 'I wonder how those would work out in the jail,' as far as helping the guys pass time and make them feel a lot more at ease and less destructive to our facility. So, we adopted a couple of them and brought them back here," Kramer said. "We got their mug shots and put them in a couple of cells where we thought they would be better received. We gave the inmates a list of cat rules for caring for the cat such as cleaning their litter box. But they are waiting in line to take care of the cat," he said. "The studies show that it will help with relieving stress and give them something to do, something to occupy their time," the sheriff said. *-- Theme park Cinderella accepts proposal --* QUEENSBURY, N.Y. - A New York state theme park Cinderella accepted a surprise proposal from her service member boy-friend when he popped the question while she was at work. Sarah Cordts, 21, who has played Cinderella at Six Flags' The Great Escape theme park in Queensbury for eight years, said she knew her boyfriend, U.S. Navy Lt. Russell Lidberg, 29, was visiting the park for Heroes Week, but he shocked her when he approached her with a glass slipper and an engagement ring, The (Glen Falls) Post-Star reported Monday. "He got down on one knee, and pulled out the most beautiful, sparkling diamond ring, and said 'Cinderella, will you live happily ever after with me?'" Cordts said. "And of course I said, 'Yes! A thousand times yes!'" Lidberg said he coordinated the proposal with Six Flags bosses, who gave Cordts the rest of her shift off to celebrate. The couple said they spent the remainder of the day walking around the park and receiving congratulations. *-- Man arrested for allegedly fishing nude --* SPOKANE, Wash. - Authorities in Washington state said they arrested a man accused of fishing nude on the bank of a lake where he was spotted by other anglers. Spokane County sheriff's deputies said a man fishing with his two young sons on West Medical Lake reported spotting the man fishing nude on the west bank of the lake at about 2:15 p.m. Sunday, KCPQ-TV, Spokane, Wash., reported Tuesday. Deputies said the man, Dean Meginniss, 54, had put on a pair of shorts at the urging of resort employees before they arrived. They said Meginniss had an outstanding warrant for stalking and he was arrested on the warrant and an additional charge of indecent exposure. The sheriff's office said the indecent exposure charge is a felony because he has a previous conviction for the same charge from 2009. Meginniss was booked into the Spokane County Jail. ============================================================ >-->Story Time From Our Friend PeggyT :) \ \ ` / / ' \ ` \ ` ' / / ` ' \ . * * * * * . / ` \ ` * * * * * * * * * / \ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ' \ ` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ / \ ` * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ' / ` @ @ @ @ * '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ \ * * * * * * * * * * * * * ' ` @ @ @ @ @ Come @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ / * * * ** sit under the * * * * * * * * \ ` @ @ @ @ @ rainbow and @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ' * * * * * let it take your * * * * * * * * / ` @ @ @ @ @ cares away. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ . * * * * * * * * * * * * *. \ @ @ @ @ @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ >The Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... -<>- .-..--. / \ `. o/' o>| \ .-------. .' | | / `----.___ m__.-'' \__/ J ` __ /| |` | /| / |\/`--' ( / `. .' \ | | | _ _ \ / \ .-' .' \ | \ _ ` `_ ) J L -' .-' ) \ `. \.' `. _X/ \ |\ .-' ( \ `````` \ \ \ \ `-._.-' | | | | | `. \ \ \ \ \ \ | |-._.-| | | `. `._`._ \ \_ \ `_ -' |((' | `-)) `.__)__) `._) `._) (((/ \))) VK >"SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE" Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray. All the recent arrivals at the Bridge did not know what to think, as they had never seen such a day. But the animals who had been waiting longer for their beloved people to accompany them across the Bridge knew what was happening, and they began to gather at the pathway leading to the Bridge. Soon an elderly dog came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. He approached slowly, and though he showed no sign of injury or illness, he was in great emotional pain. Unlike the animals gathered along the pathway, he had not been restored to youth and vigor upon arriving at the Bridge. He felt out of place, and wanted only to cross over and find happiness. But as he approached the Bridge, his way was barred by an angel, who apologized and explained that the tired and broken-spirited old dog could not cross over. Only those animals accompanied by their people were allowed to cross the Bridge. Having nobody, and with nowhere else to turn, the dog trudged into the field in front of the Bridge. There he found others like himself, elderly or infirm, sad and discouraged. Unlike the other animals waiting to cross the Bridge, these animals were not running or playing. They simply were lying in the grass, staring forlornly at the pathway across the Rainbow Bridge. The old dog took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting, yet not knowing what he was actually waiting for. One of the newer dogs at the Bridge asked a cat who had been there longer to explain what was happening. The cat replied, "Those poor animals were abandoned, turned away, or left at rescue places, but never found a home on earth. They all passed on with only the love of a rescuer to comfort them. Because they had no people to love them, they have nobody to escort them across the Rainbow Bridge." The dog asked the cat, "So what will happen to those animals?" Before the cat could answer, the clouds began to part and the cold turned to bright sunshine. The cat replied, "Watch, and you will see." In the distance was a single person, and as she approached the Bridge the old, infirm and sad animals in the field were bathed in a golden light. They were all at once made young and healthy, and stood to see what their fate would be. The animals who had previously gathered at the pathway bowed their heads as the person approached. At each bowed head, the person offered a scratch or hug. One by one, the now youthful and healthy animals from the field fell into line behind the person. Together, they walked across the Rainbow Bridge to a future of happiness and unquestioned love. The dog asked the cat, "What just happened?" The cat responded, "That was a rescuer." The animals gathered along the pathway bowing in respect were those who had found their forever homes because of rescuers. They will cross over when their people arrive at the Bridge. The arrival here of a rescuer is a great and solemn event, and as a tribute they are permitted to perform one final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort all those poor animals they couldn't place on earth across the Rainbow Bridge and into Heaven." The dog thought for a moment, then said, "I like rescuers." The cat smiled and replied, "So does heaven, my friend. So does heaven." --- ...aww, a Sweet story!

In death's doorway, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven. There, spread out on newspapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table. The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when he was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. "Stay out of those," she said.

Well, here it is: There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his daughter's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time--just him and his granddaughter. One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather, who was still in bed. "Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?" he asked. "Oh, yes, Grandpa, it was really wonderful. We didn't see a single A#@-hole, piece of c@#p, horse's A@#, blind b$#%d, dipsh*t, Muslim goat h*&^per or son of a b*&^h anywhere we went!"

Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage they think you have caused. (Note: This only works when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.) 3. Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it perfectly. Then the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about. 4. Make your humans be patient. When you go outside to go 'pee', sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose to go pee will ultimately decide the fate of the earth. 5. Draw attention to the human. When out for a walk always pick the busiest, most visible spot to go 'poo'. Take your time and make sure everyone watches. This works particularly well if your humans have forgotten to bring a plastic bag. 6.

When your human calls you to come back in, always take your time. Walk as slowly as possible back to the door. 10. Wake up twenty minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off and make the humans take you out for your morning pee. As soon as you get back inside, fall asleep.
