A new
supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to
keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of
distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you approach the milk cases, you
hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay.
When you approach the egg case, you
hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing
aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
The veggie department features the
smell of fresh buttered corn.
I don't buy toilet paper there any
more.

Irish
author Brendan Behan:
This
is a true story of the late Irish author Brendan Behan who one night
collapsed in a diabetic coma in a Dublin street.
It
was at a time when he was at the height of his drunken notoriety and
passes-by naturally thought he was dead drunk.
They
took him to the nearby surgery of one of Dublin's most fashionable and
respected doctors.
The
doctor decided to take a cardiograph and, somewhat nervous of his
patient, thought to humor him.
He
explained the workings of the cardiograph needle as it registered the
faint heartbeats of the very sick and semiconscious Brendan.
"That
needle there is writing down your pulses, Mr.Behan, and I suppose, in
its own way, it is probably the most important thing you have ever
written."
To
which Behan replied: "Aye, and it's straight from me heart, too."

From
Pat O'C
As a
trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of
her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker
lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you are
losing some of your load."
The
trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.
When
the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again.
She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the
trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde
says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your
load!"
Shaking
his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.
At
the third red light, the same thing happens again.
All
out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the
truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says "Hi, my
name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"
When
the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light.
When
he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back
to the blonde.
He
knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says...
"Hi,
my name is Kevin, it's winter in Michigan and I'm driving the SALT
TRUCK!"

Murphy

Ten
Things A Cat Thinks About
1. I
could have sworn I heard the can opener.
2. Is there something I'm not getting when humans make noise with their
mouths?
3. Why doesn't the government do something about dogs?
4. I wonder if Morris really liked 9-Lives, or did he have ULTERIOR
motives?
5. Hmmm ... If dogs serve humans, and humans serve cats, why can't we
cats ever get these STUPID dogs to do anything for us?
6. This looks like a good spot for a nap.
7. Hey -- no kidding, I'm sure that's the can opener.
8. Would humans have built a vast and complex civilization of their own
if we cats hadn't given them a reason to invent sofas and can openers
in the first place?
9. If there's a God, how can He allow neutering?
10. If that really was the can opener, I'll play finicky just to let
THEM know who's boss!
