Bad Jokes & Pit Porcupines
October 8th 2007 21:39
Hello again from Today's World:
Riddle: There is a mountain with a "house of ill repute" on the top. One man is going up the mountain, one man is coming down the mountain, and one man is on top of the mountain.
What are the three men's nationalities??? (Answer at the bottom of the column)
From Craig, my friend in Fallon, Nevada:
This is a picture NASA took with the Hubbell telescope...they call it 'The Eye of God.'
Interesting, what? Actually, this photograph is of the The Helix Nebula NGC 7293. Could it be that God is looking at us through this Nebula? Comments?
Again, from Craig:
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling neckties.
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?" The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $25."
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! Infidel! I do not need an overpriced tie. I
need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first.
" OK," said the old Jewish man, "it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that". "If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need and the food is quite good, too. Shalom."
Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, and said "Your brother won't let me in without a tie."
Thought: "The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails."
Still more from Craig, and I thank you, Craig (an unending source of humor):
Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living
room, and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.
She got up, unplugged the TV and my computer and threw out my wine!!
She will not be invited over again...
From my friend, Maryann, in Oakland, and thank you Maryann - Funny and sad at the same time:
Pit Bull vs. Porcupine...
A Southern California (wouldn't you know it!) Pit Bull decided he would take on a Porcupine in his back yard...he ultimately learned the hard way that you can't always win no matter how tough you might be.
After the encounter, a vet sedated the dog and then removed 1,347 quills (!!!). The dog survived and hopefully learned a valuable lesson.
Three thoughts come to mind when I look at that poor dog...
1. Don't mess with Porcupines;
2. Wonder if the Porcupine had any quills left; and
3.. Dogs and Porcupines?; Bush and Iraq? Similar, maybe, huh...
OUCH!!!
Answer to Riddle at beginning of column: The man going up the mountain is Russian; the man coming down the mountain is Finnish; and the man at the top of the mountain, Himalayan - Well, I think it's funny

Thanks for stopping by.
Apparently the dog, Inca, is fine
The owner posted originally at Community .
Not absolutely certain, but think they checked the semi-nude porcupine for rabies, and it turned out that was not a problem....

Yes, that poor dog!
We have a pit (mix) 87.5 pit, the rest bull mastiff. In many ways it's like having a very muscular two year old, who always wants, and generally gets, most of the blankets on the bed at night. We're working on that....
As for the other two wirters, and only you know who you are -
As stated at ;
workingpitbull
"Are they the same breed?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question. It is all a matter of perspective.
Perspective 1) all dogs, AKC, UKC or ADBA all originated from the same group of British dogs, making American Staffs, Staffie bulls and American pit bulls all the same dog.
Perspective 2) when the original British dogs came over, they became American Staffs and American pit bulls, however, the dogs which remained in Britain are somehow significantly different from the American dogs.
Perspective 3) all three of the "breeds" originated from the same group of British dogs, but have been bred along different lines and for different purposed long enough now to be separate breeds. "
btw, a great site for lovers of the breed, and another is:
american pit bull
which says,
"These dogs are truly capable of many tasks. The difference between Pits and American Staffordshire Terriers is a difficult one. Even breeders can't agree. The main difference is the bloodline. Amstaffs are show dogs and dog fighters won't use dogs with Amstaff blood. As time progresses there will be more of a difference. Many are duel registered as Amstaffs with the AKC and Pits with the UKC. "
Now,, thank you to the person who wrote language that is unacceptable on a family blog....
I need to find out how, hopefully not to eliminate your remark, but edit it....
You certainly have the right to disagree, however inaccurately.
You do not, on our blog, have the right to use that language.
(Comment:
"thats not a pit bull terrier ****** ****.

o.k., done

Thanks for the comments, although language on one comment should probably be a little edited (sigh).
To the best of my knowledge the animal was quickly taken to the vet, though not fast enough to avoid a picture taken by a family member.
If that pit is anything like others I've known, it was not old enough to know about porcupines, and it tried to play.
My pit tries to play with every cat, dog, llama, horse and sheep she meets. My pooch is learning, slowly learning, not to lean over, while drinking from their water buckets, presenting her backside to sheep or goats. They have their ways of playing, too,
Regards,
Theresa & Bob
