Wild Turkeys are much worse!!! They can't make up their minds in the middle of the road as to whether they are going to continue to cross or turn around and go back the way they came from.

Armadillos, too.

I quoted WC Field's "never give a sucker an even break" about 3 days ago on a Sci-Fi channel.

I think that was P.T. Barnum.

Can't remember who said "It is morally wrong to let suckers keep their money." but I'll bet he worked in Washington D.C.

Canada Bill Jones, whoever he was, provided one of my favorite sayings:

"A Smith and Wesson beats a full house."

Dude, I think you're right. Did W.C. Fields have a movie with that title?

Boy Scout camp.
There was a place on the St. Croix River, right up against the bluff. I should be dead three times over. Rock climbing with no safety equipment. One winter somebody brought a runner sled and we piled four or five kids on and rode it down the road into camp. Runners collapsed half way down. Then there was the incident when someone threw poison ivy leaves into the campfire. Several kids ended up in the hospital.

You have brought to mind an episode one winter in my preteens. Our house was near the hilltop in a subdivision, one way down a very long curving slide, with high speed on a sled. The other way was a series of shorter hills, safer. One day, no school, I tried the fast side and went under the dump truck spreading cinders at an incredible (I think) speed. Fortunately the cinders he spread behind him slowed my sled to safety. Oher neighbor kids had made it on other winters, but I was never on a runner sled again. A bobsled once, while in the USAF, but that was also a one time event because of a tree.

The Japanese story of creation is that God created the Earth and all of the plants and animals on it, except for dogs.

Why dogs? Because before he created all the animals He went for a walk in His new creation and took His dog with him.

And dog spelled backwards is.....

All that says a lot for taking your test in a Morris Mini Minor. I didn't have to do a three point turn or even park.
The testing officer (policeman back then) said there was no point.

-Hah! I took my test in a Renault Dauphine. The only thing I had to do WAS a three point turn. I looked at the guy, shrugged, did the turn and had my license in less than 15 minutes.
