Good Morning and how are you today? I am ok for a Monday. A Monday it is and no shortage of goofy news to report, actuallt so much that I will just give a tiny-bit of it now
In April, two Labrador retrievers (Lucky and Flo) sniffed out another shipment of pirated DVDs (worth about $435,000) in a building in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. It was at least the second such bust since mid-March, when the U.S. Motion Picture Association of America loaned the dogs to Malaysian authorities because they can detect the polycarbonate and unique chemicals in the discs. So successful are Lucky and Flo that an unspecified crime gang has reportedly put out a contract on them. Can you believe that anyone in their right mind would put out a contract on a couple of doggies? I mean what are they going to poison their kibble? Hey boy, come here and get the rat poison doggie biscuit. I am not making this up [Agence France-Presse, 4-1-07] the next story is even to bizarre for me who I am a hunter as well but, unless this goofy dude was going to have this duck mounted by a taxidermist I have no clue why he flung it in the … well here is the story you decide. I will comment after the story on daffy…
Veterinarians in Tallahassee, Fla., were enthralled in January when a duck, "killed" by a hunter and placed in his freezer for two days, suddenly sprang to life and was rushed into surgery at Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary to repair its leg and wing. Then, on the operating table, the duck (named "Perky" by that time) once again flat-lined, only to spring back to life a second time. Ok, first off… who took the damned duck into the animal ICU? Ok, if it was the hunter, I don’t get it… Didn’t he or she want the duck in the first place? Secondly if, it wasn’t the rightful duck hunter that swooped up said duck and took it for emergency repairs Then pray tell who in heck was it? Could you imagine your mother in-law coming over for dinner and you tell her, “Hey mom, help me out here and grab a chicken out of the freezer…” She opens the door and here is daffy duck staring at her and quacking. Ok, I might just be whistling Dixie here but, I am thinking the duck and it’s broken wing are far short of the big problem… I am thinking ole Mother In-law fainting over the sight of a duck fully feathered and quacking in the freezer might hold more of presence then a duck with 9 life’s… again here is the paper that it was found in. [Tallahassee Democrat, 1-28-07]
So, other then that there certainly are more goofiness to be shared but for today I will end this and wish you a Merry Monday and what ever you do I hope it’s to your liking. Have a great day.
A huge hug and a two hand pat to go on.
Oh, and if you are ever invited over to diner at a duck hunter’s house, beware for lurks in their freezer…
