savannah is afraid of me."

Chicken replies: "Big deal. I only have to cough, and the entire
planet shits itself."

A cat's diary:

Day 183 of my captivity. My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair - must try this on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches.The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time.

Texas Law Enforcement

GOOD
In Richardson, Texas State Trooper was running radar. He had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting any. Then he discovered the problem: A 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD!" The officer later found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading, "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)

BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Plano, Texas. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

BEST
A young woman was pulled over in Austin, Texas for speeding. As the TX State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book. She said, "I'll bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police Ball." He replied, "Texas State Troopers don't have balls."
There was a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. ( She was laughing too hard to start her car.)

Body Meeting

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain , "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."

"I should be in charge," said the blood , "Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."

"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process food and give all of you energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum And insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood Was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.


The Moral of the story? The asshole is usually in charge !!

Anger Management

A young guy was complaining to his boss about the
problems he was having with his stubborn girlfriend.

"She gets me so angry sometimes I could hit her," the
young man exclaimed.

"Well, I'll tell you what I used to do with my wife,"
replied the boss. "Whenever she got out of hand I'd
take her pants down and spank her."

Shaking his head the young guy replied, "That doesn't
work. Once I get her pants down I'm not mad anymore."

Fire-Rescue Memorandum

Office of the Fire Chief

To: All Riding Members
From: Chief of Operations
Subject: Proper Narrative Descriptions

It has come to our attention from several emergency
rooms that many EMS narratives have taken a decidedly
creative direction lately.

Effective immediately, all members are to refrain from
using slang and abbreviations to describe patients, such
as the following.

1. Cardiac patients should not be referred to with
MUH (messed up heart), PBS (pretty bad shape),
PCL (pre-code looking) or HIBGIA (had it before,
got it again).
2. Stroke patients are NOT "Charlie Carrots." Nor
are rescuers to use CCFCCP (Coo Coo for
Cocoa Puffs) to describe their mental state.
3. Trauma patients are not CATS (cut all to shit),
FDGB (fall down, go boom), TBC (total body crunch)
or "hamburger helper." Similarly, descriptions of a
car crash do not have to include phrases like
"negative vehicle to vehicle interface" or "terminal
deceleration syndrome."
4. HAZMAT teams are highly trained professionals,
not "glow worms."
5. Persons with altered mental states as a result of
drug use are not considered "pharmaceutically gifted."
6. Gunshot wounds to the head are not "trans-occipital
implants."
7. The homeless are not "urban outdoorsmen", nor is
endotracheal intubation referred to as a "PVC
Challenge".
8. And finally, do not refer to recently deceased persons
as being "paws up," "ART" (assuming room temperature),
"CC" (Cancel Christmas), "CTD" (circling the drain),
or "NLPR" (no long playing records).

I know you will all join me in respecting the cultural
diversity of our patients to include their medical
orientations in creating proper, narratives and log entries.

Useless Information

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)(I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour. (Don't try this at home,maybe at work)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.(Hmmmmmm......)

Intended Puns

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and Generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that is has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp., for its part announced today that VIAGRA will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.

Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink." Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of "MOUNT & DO".
