The forum needs a little humor.

one of the reasons i really don't like feeding all the strays i do. people are all like, awe poor kitties, cold and hungry. there are so many of them.

i wonder do they think, awe, poor EVERY single creature that the cats can kill and eat and with a few dozen++ cats, i'm sure that number is rather large!!

i haven't fed a bird, squirrel, chipmunk in months since i started with the darn cats. the irony is, i preferred feeding the other animals.

for sure the cats didn't ask to be born and be wild and eat other creatures to survive but that doesn't change the fact that because the cats are in such large number outside, the enjoyable wildlife is virtually nil.

i guess on a planet with so much teeming life, it is pure inevitability that there will be rather large overlap.

rant over in the humor thread.

Land clouds are good dogs. I had one growing up.

A rabbi, priest, and a minister are out fishing in a boat on a big lake when the priest realizes that he has to go to the bathroom. Not wanting to disturb the fishing of the others in the boat by having them take him to shore, he gets out of the boat and walks across the water to do his business and then returns to the boat. A little while later the minister has to go also and he does the same. He walks across the water, does his business and returns across the water to the boat. Finally the rabbi feels the urge to go to the bathroom too, so he climbs out of the boat. But instead of walking across the water, he falls into the water and starts to wildly splash around. The priest and the minister finally drag the rabbi back into the boat and the priest turns to the minister and says, "Maybe we should have told him where the rocks were."

Cheers, RickO

It was funnier the first time.

(edited to add: not funny now that the dupe is gone…)

shoo wee. i hate to imagine working in a place with the type of people (type of people=people whom would make these kinds of decisions) where this would even be necessary!

edited to add: iirc, i think that getting unpasturized milk/cheese and other foods/drinks that haven't gone through the "safety" procedures and processes are illegal but quite valueable in some places of the world so maybe that has something to do with it?
