Kindness is relative

One Saturday afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when hesaw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man 'Why are you eating grass?'

'We don't have any money for food,' the poor man replied, we have to eat grass.'

Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you', the lawyer said.

But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree'.

'Bring them along,' the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, 'You come with us also.'

The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, 'But sir,I  also have a wife and SIX

children with me!'

'Bring them all, as well,' the lawyer answered and they all entered the car, which

was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said,'Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.'

The lawyer replied, 'Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost 1 metre high!'

The 6 Cutest Animals That Can Still Surprice You

Is this critter cute or.....what?

Image via Wikipedia

I vote for 'super cute'.   It's amazing to me that more people don't realize what great pets rats make.  And lately I've discovered "Gambian Pouched Rats". 

That's what this is.....a Gambian Pouched Rat.

According to what I read they're not exactly the same species as sewer rats (AKA: 'terminal rats'....which can grow to be as much as 7 pounds).  Or even the white rat which a lot of people do know about (and keep as pets).  I had a couple white rats when I was in high school.

Gambian Pouched Rats (AKA: GP Rats) are currently being used a mine sniffers in areas of the world where they have a problem clearing land mines.  Africa is one such area.

These rats are a lot cheaper to acquire, train and upkeep than sniffer dogs.  And they're just as good if not better at their job because they weigh less and are therefor even less likely to set off a mine.

They're pretty darn smart too and they do have personalities. ......like this adorable little guy who's playing 'dead' because he likes getting his belly rubbed.

Funny.....and raunchy

Here's a guy with a very funny, and raunchy, sense of humor. This extracted snippet is just a small part of the content over on his blog on www.soulcast.com which I just discovered today.  The rest of it is decidedly X-rated.  But it's still funny

Sunday morning sex Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents’ house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start toring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong." She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He’d still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn’t come along."

Stephen Colbert rocks Congress

Stephen Colbert, otherwise known as a comedian, took his talents to Congress recently to contribute his testimony on the illegal immigrant issue. I wish most Congressmen were as good at representing the American public as he is in making them laugh. Notice in one part of this video the smug Congress-critter sneering.

Merengue Dog?

This dog dances Merengue pretty good.  Personally, I think that's just about all Merengue is good for.....drunks and dogs.  Nevertheless.....this area where they're dancing.  It reminds me a lot of that shopping center over on the SE corner of S.Gessner and Harwin in Houston.....where Amnesia Salsa Club used to be. 

It can't be the same place........can it?

A cutie with talent!

I'm kinda just doing this to see where it'll show up SEO-wize.  But the gal in the video I'm referring to really does have talent.  I looked at several of her videos and here's 4.  There's others too.

She's too good to be just a soccer mom.  Her credits say www.livfilms.com.  So....all the more indication that she's a pro or semi-pro.

I gather from the content of some of the videos that she's got a boyfriend or husband who's part of her online/offline activities.  He's in some of of the videos but I suspect he might be the writer because he's not as cute as she is.

Will I live to see 80?

I recently picked a new primary care doctor.

After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing fairly well "for my age".

(I just turned 55.) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?"

"Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either!"

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

I replied, "Not much. My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!"

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, flying model airplanes or bicycling?"

"No, I don't," I explained, "because they say the sun causes skin cancer."

He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or chase wild women and have a lot of sex?"

"No," I said.

He looked at me with raised eyebrows and said, "Then, why do you even give a crap?"
