A farmer's animals are in total revolt and the man sees an ad in the paper for an animal psychic. He has nothing to lose so he calls the psychic who says he'll come by the next morning. Sure enough the psychic shows up, says he'll have to commune with the animals. A while later the psychic finds the farmer and says "Your horses are angry with you because you changed their bits from straight bars to triangular ones and its hurting their mouths when they pull things." "You're right!" says the farmer. "I can fix that." The psychic says "You aren't putting enough water in the pigs' pen so they can't roll in the mud to prevent sunburns." The farmer says "That's true. I'll take care of that!" The psychic then says "You cranked up the milking machines too high and it's hurting the cows' udders. They are very unhappy." The farmer says "OMG! You are totally right. I'll dial them back down. You are very good at this." The psychic then says "I communed with your sheep and -" The farmer yells "Oh, those sheep. They're all liars. Don't believe a word they say!"

Why is medieval art so poorly drawn? Neanderthals were making realistic cave drawings and then one looks at these later artworks that are out of proportion and not even resembling animals - can we say "cats" - and it makes a person wonder what was going on?

I still like Young Frankenstein more. But Madeline Kahn's masterpiece turn as Lili Von Schtup is a true classic bit of filming history. Well, that and her "Where are you going? Oh, sure, 5 or 6 quick ones and it's off to boast and brag with the boys. You better keep your mouth shut!" I sure do miss her.

What lucky people to have enjoyed that painting on their wall for all those many years! It's a lovely portrait. I won't be surprised if some fat cat buys that painting and it will disappear, again from the world.

My kids loved those playhouses which were germ traps. One time my kids went into one of those crawl tubes and suddenly exited it because some kid had left poop streaks all through the tube. I pitied the poor person that had to clean up that mess and I'm certain that type of incident must have been pretty common back then. Those playhouses were perfect breeding grounds for all sorts of diseases. I, for one, am glad they are gone. Looking back on how infectious those playhouses were and now with us dealing with Covid it sort of boggles the mind to even remember how acceptably germy those things were.

My dad was a master beekeeper and president of SEMBA off and on for years. He and my mother would put a drop of honey in their eyes "to prevent cataracts". It was a German custom that he'd found in a book about bees and their honey. Well, I was stupid enough to try it and had a severe allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital with strips of tissue from my eye sloughing off and the center of the eyeball pressing inward which made the white part of the eye swell and continue to leak tissue from my eye. 8 hours later and several bags of saline slowly leaked onto my eye and liquid benadryl in an iv I got to go home with no lasting effects. So, boys and girls, do NOT put honey in your eyes! I'm terrified of shampoos, conditioners and facial cleansers that have honey in them in case they get in my eyes.

When I lived in Louisiana for 10 years I got introduced to fire ants the first month there. I went to look at purchasing a shed for my property and the sheds were on this really big lot and while I was looking at the outside of a shed my feet started burning. Looking down I saw the entire tops of my feet covered in fire ants because I unknowingly was standing on their ant hill. Many stings covered my feet and the blisters become like hard white rocks and scarring is very common on lots of people in Louisiana. 2 years before we decided to move away from Louisiana we started getting 'crazy ants' in our area. I watched a bunch of them attack the fire ants and my yard became free from fire ants. I never thought that would be possible. Our next door neighbor came by asking about those ants. They run every which way, not in a single file and they really dislike fire ants. I hope they flourish down there because they don't bother people.
