Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, *Fried Chicken.* She said I wasn*t funny, but she couldn*t have been right because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth, so I did. I told my dad what happened and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do too. Especially chicken, pork, and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal*s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed too and told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite LIVE animal was. I told her it was chicken because you can make it into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal*s office. He laughed and told me not to do it again. My parents told me to be honest, but my teacher doesn*t like it when I am. I don*t understand. Today my teacher told me to tell her what famous military person I admire most. I said, *Colonel Sanders.*

Guess where I am now...

A man and wife are dining in a plush restaurant, and the husband keeps staring at a drunken lady swigging drinks at the bar. The wife asks her husband if he knows her? The husband replies: Yes, she's my ex-girlfriend. I hear she took to drinking right after we split 7 years ago, and hasn't been sober since.

The wife: Oh my! Who would think a person could go on celebrating for that long.

The California D.O.T found over 200 dead crows on the highways recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A pathologist examined the birds, and to everyone*s relief, it was not bird flu. The cause of death seemed to be from vehicular impact. However, during analysis, it was noted that various colors of paint on the claws and beaks of the crows. Testing of these paints found that 98% of the birds were killed by impact with motorbikes, while the other 2% were impacted by cars. The agency then hired an

Ornithological Behaviourist to determine why the percentage difference between motorcycles vs. cars. The conclusion was that when crows eat road-kill, they always have a lookout bird to warn of incoming danger. They discovered that while all the lookout birds could shout *Cah!* but not a single one could shout *Bike!*

~~As you get older, you have to stay positive. For example, the other day I fell down the stairs. Instead of getting upset, I just thought, *Wow, that*s the fastest I*ve moved in years!*

~~I sent that *ancestry* site some information on my family tree. They sent me back a packet of seed and suggested that I just start over.
