Four week-old African lion cubs snarl for the camera at Ramat Gan Safari near Tel Aviv. The birth of three female cubs last month have calmed Israeli veterinarians fears of a reproductive disaster after a string of male-only births.
Why did the blonde take his new scarf back to the store?
It was too tight.
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar that way.
The man, who was a priest, said, “ I am a Father.”
The little boy replied “My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that.”
The priest looked up from his book and answered “I am the Father of many.”
The boy said “My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn’t wear his collar that way.”
The priest, getting impatient, said,”I am the Father of hundreds” and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly ... but on leaving the bus he leaned over and said ... “Well, maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead.”
I walked the 2+ miles again yesterday ... this time I went west on Allentown to Springfield Rd. (all up hill!) and then back down again to home. Good thing it was down hill getting home! Aaron passed me on his way to work. He probably thinks his Dad has lost his marbles out wandering on the road at the break of dawn. Much cooler then though.
I got a bill from the repair shop on the Blazer’s rear brakes and the oil change. Expensive. Too expensive. I don’t mind paying for the 4.5 quarts of oil although I have to wonder what happened to the other .5 quart ... I balk at paying for 4.5 oil filters. Typo I’m sure but at $10.50 per oil filter the extra 3.5 filters are a bit much.

Here is a crappy fine example of how uncaring and weird it can get when “Big Brother” runs amok. The cops were so concerned about his well being they haul a kid off because he isn’t wearing a bicycle helmet and he ends up in foster care for two years ... that was better for him?
The Oregon government is suing a Calgary mother for the cost of keeping her son in foster care for two years while she fought for his return to Canada.
The boy, now 12, was visiting his stepfather in Oregon in 2008 when police there picked him up for not wearing his bike helmet.
U.S. officials didn’t recognize the boy’s stepfather as a legal guardian, so he was sent to a foster home, setting off a long legal battle. A U.S. judge finally allowed him to return to live with his mother and younger sister in Calgary last month.
Another lame brain bureaucratic idea. If you don’t have a job or income there is a good chance you don’t have a computer or an Internet connection. So what’s wrong with using those expensive Unemployment Benefit Offices we have spent so many tax dollars on?
