Not a Golden Retriever

Joey had told them he was “not a golden retriever;” fetching balls  for golfers that couldn’t miss the water and getting hit on the head while sunning just showed no respect . . .

Kicked Out

Eloise, while taking the sun in Florida, was mistaken for a protester at the nearby Trump rally.  She hadn’t even known it WAS a Trump rally until the Secret Service ejected her . . .

Where Do Rattles Come From?

Like alligators (everyone else has crocodiles and caimans), rattlesnakes are found only in the Americas.  Huey wondered where they got their rattle. After several difficult months and the freedom of information act, he  discovered that rattles were grown in a covert, organic rattle farm in Oregon and drop shipped to each rattlesnake several times a year, no charge, courtesy of the government.  Now, lack of funding made it likely the program would be cut, and another unique North American species would become ordinary.

Tattoo?

Elton (pictured)  was well educated; he had a degree in Political Science from the University of Phoenix (on line),  he knew the words to all of the Lady GaGa songs, and he did quite well with them at Karaoke night.  But he was a flop with chicks–he couldn’t get a date to save his life.  He wondered if getting a tattoo might help as part of an extreme makeover . . .

Gerry, always a big Star Trek fan, saw some real benefits to the Romulan Cloaking technology, and as a proponent of developing local technology, decided to try to combine the systems.  It was a work in progress . . .
