The Guide Dog Story to Trump All
Barb left a comment the other day under my latest dog post. It was the stupidest guide dog-related story, and it was so jaw-droppingly stupid that I felt it had to be preserved forever. Here it is. My friend ***name removed*** was walking with her dog ***name removed*** the other day, and she got lost …
It Worked In South Africa?
Wow. the act of wheeling a dead guy in so they could get his pension cheque actually worked in South Africa, unlike what happened with those guys in the states who tried a similar trick. Can you imagine getting the dead guy’s thumbprint?
Going Down!

Woops. I love the description of the guy falling. “I heard this …

Fire And Lice
Note to everyone out there. If you get lice, for god’s sake, don’t try to kill them with gasoline. There are shampoos, even tea tree oil is apparently good. But when you use gasoline, things don’t go well, as the family and friends of Jessica Brooks are now horribly aware. Jessica suffered serious burns when …
There’s A Guy who Won’t Be Renting Cars Anytime Soon
What the hell? How drunk, or messed up on drugs, do you have to be to think it’s a good idea to set a small fire in your car to keep warm? I don’t know, but I think Patrick Larue does.
