For those who like cats---pay attention now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------~-> A lonely, elderly widower loved his cat so dearly that he tried to teach it to talk. "If I can get Tabby to talk with me," he reasoned, "I won't have to bother with ornery human beings at all!" First, the man tried feeding the cat a diet of canned salmon, then one of canaries. Tabby obviously loved both, but still wouldn't learn to talk. Then, one day years after he had begun the project, the man had two parrots cooked in butter and served to Tabby with asparagus and French fries. Tabby eagerly licked the plate clean. Then, wonder of wonders, suddenly turned to her master and shouted, "Look out!" The startled widower didn't hear. He didn't move a muscle. Instantly, the ceiling caved in a buried the poor man, but Tabby survived by jumping out of the way. The cat shook her head in disgust and said, "Eight years he spends getting me to talk and then the idiot doesn't listen." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

There was this not too bright scientist doing a study on how frogs respond to commands. He told a frog to jump. The frog jumped 30 feet. He wrote in his log book, frog jumped 30 feet. Then he cut off one leg. He gave the same command to the frog. It jumped 25 feet. In Log: Cut off one leg, frog jumped five less feet. He cut off another leg. The frog went 20 feet. He recorded it in the log book. Then he cut off the thrid leg. The frog jumped 10 feet. He wrote, cut off three legs and frog now jumps 10 less feet. Finally, he cut off the last leg and commanded the frog to jump. The frog didn't move an inch. The scientist wrote in his book...Cut off all four legs and the frog went deaf. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
