1963 When my family moved to Michigan from Massachusetts we lived at my aunt's house while our new house was being built. There was a half tame squirrel in the neighborhood. One day I was hand feeding it. My mothers yells at me not to let it bite me. I think her voice frightened it because he nipped my finger which bled. Mother says don't tell anyone. I did, at supper and my dad freaks out and we all go to the emergency part of the nearest hospital. They determine I need a series of rabies shots but the doctor says they have 2 serums and if they give me the wrong one I'll be a vegetable because a girl the week before got a wrong shot and it happened to her. I saw a rabies shot, a huge amount of handcream thick penicillin in a giant sized needle and a tetanus shot on a tray and ran out of the building going anywhere/nowhere just to get away. They dragged me back screaming and I got the shots. A whole series of them - 1 a day for 3 weeks. Turns out that squirrels don't carry rabies because their metabolism won't support it. grrr

OR you can buy a bag of fries and smear the grease on your neck and wrists. Then you'll really smell like fries at a much lower cost to your wallet. Many a time I have smelled fries that people ate for lunch on their hands and face and I doubt they knew that smell had lingered.

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.
