The funny thing is that the cats can't seem to connect me across the room with the water hitting them in the head.

Oh mine totally know it's me. In fact if one or more of them are being bad and they see me reach for the garden sprayer, they immediately stop what they're doing. It's getting to the point where I don't have to spray them at all, just pick it up, which kind of takes the fun out of it. ;)

Sounds like you need a concealed sprayer.

[Tamzee]

Give them both squirt-fish and see what happens.

Eeek... if it's Jerry Springer then I suppose the squirt-fish would have to be filled with something kinky and edible. Not a pretty picture LOL

Waiting for the paperwork to go through. ;)

[Xenalyte]

What's the waiting period on those? What kind of evaluation did you undergo, and how on earth did you pass it?

[Hollywoodghost]

When I first read it I thought people were mad because the fish is an early symbol of the Christian Church and it was a religious question. Church and State?

How 'bout chocolate?
Maybe not pretty, but so yummy, who could stay mad? :-)

[Auntbee]

I thought the same thing!!! (Didn't want to admit that) :)

Oh There was no evaluation and no waiting period but it takes a really long time for the paperwork to go through because it's handled by a room full of monkeys on typewriters who spend half their time trying to crank out a Shakespearian masterpiece and the other half flinging poo.

[Xenalyte]

Eeeeew! Damn bureaucracy.

[Bacon Man]

I have a theory that's what really happens in Congress also. What you see on CSPAN is really a front.

[Xenalyte]

You might really be on to something there.

Rogers, AR -- that is supposed to be among the more enlightened small towns up in the "Land of Opportunity."

[EagleMamaMT]

Now come on, confess! This is really from "The Onion", isn't it? :)

[mozarky2]

Thanks for the kind words about my home town...yes, we are pretty advanced here...I can vouch for the accuracy of this story...it really DID happen.

[Boxsford]

Hilarious!! lol!

[Happy2BMe]

Did you write that song?

[Diddle E. Squat]

No. Roger Miller("King of the Road") wrote them for the "Big River" Broadway show.

[Happy2BMe]

Well dang me, just take a rope and hang me then.

:~)
