Jack Handey Quote of the Week #4

"If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."

Jack Handey Quote of the Week #3.5

"When this girl at the art museum asked me whom I liked better, Monet or Manet, I said, 'I like mayonnaise.' She just stared at me, so I said it again, louder. Then she left. I guess she went to try to find some mayonnaise for me."

Jack Handey Quote of the Week #3

"Laurie got offended that I used the word 'puke.' But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like."

You Are Mighty

Someone at work sent me this site: http://www.jobsite.co.uk/youaremighty/index2.html

He used my name in it, and I found it kind of funny. However, I found this to be a better purpose for it...

Once you do that, you really don't want to use any other name. :)

Jack Handey Quote of the Week #2

"Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says 'You.' After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done."

Jack Handey Quote of the Week #1

I've deciced to start sharing some of my favorite Jack Handey quotes with you all.

"Why can't the ant and the caterpillar just get along? One eats grass, the other eats Caterpillars... Oh, I see now."
--Jack Handey

'Possuuuummmss....!!!

For those of you who don't get the title of this post...I'm truly sorry. I'm willing to bet that Aaron Q. will get it, though.

I've been housesitting for a family from my church this week. Their cat, Max, can be let outside for days on end. Last night, I went outside to see if I could call him back. I saw something hop up on the railing, thinking, "Oh. There he is." So, I turn on the porch light to see something that made me jump...



This was one of the largest opossums (or possums?) I've ever seen. He/She was actually kind of cute, despite the long, freaky-looking tail, which, now that I think about it, reminds me of this guy...



He was just kind of chilling out, scratching himself, and looking generally lazy and relaxed (which is probably the reason they don't get out of the way of cars). I quickly and softly went out to my car to get my camera. He was still there when I got back. I walked outside, not too close to him, to get some shots of him. Here's a couple more, including one of him yawning (which he did several times -- and real big yawns, too)...





This morning, the mom of the house called me to find out how things were going. I told her about her wildlife, and she told me that she's seen baby 'possums around there. I guess I saw the mom or the dad.

Well, 'till next time...
