Urgent Notice: Potential Danger of Dog Hair.....

In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of dogs. This substance, called "amobacter caninii" has been linked with the following symptoms in females: Reluctance to cook, clean or do housework, a reluctance to wear make-up, good clothes or high heels heels. Reluctance to spend money on home or car repairs until after 'Baby' has new collars, leashes, beds, treats, food, blankets or toys.

"Amobacter caninii" usually results in long hours away from home and exhaustion which may lead to a loss of physical contact with other humans (especially husbands and boyfriends). "Amobacter caninii" is thought to be addictive, driving the need for additional sources - this may lead to a "pack mentality" or like the potato chip commercial, "you can't have just one". Beware! If you come in contact with a female human infected by this substance, be prepared to talk about dogs for hours.

This was NOT from an HSUS supporter!
 We hope you get it, our staff sure did!


Captain Haggerty topped them all with this real life laugh.  Show people remember him although he passed on a couple years ago.  He sent The Dog Press this real life story about the infamous Sunny Shay.


DON'T RAISE THE BRIDGE, LOWER THE RIVER

 

Sunny Shay was getting ready to go in for BIS with an 11-year-old Shirkhan.  We were chit-chatting and I noticed her slip was showing and told her.  I was waiting for her to hand me the Afghan as she reached inside the top of her dress to pull up the straps on her slip.  She held on to the dog, bent over and ripped the bottom lace from her slip.  She won BIS.

PS:  Part of her chit-chat regarded a certain prominent dog man that counseled her not to show Shirkhan for BIS because we want to remember him as he was.  I told her he didn't want Shirkhan beating him and that convinced her to go in.  Cap.

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.)

 

Now think about this ....

 

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million.
 (B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is  1,500.
 (C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.0000187.

(Statistically, doctors are 9,144 times more dangerous than gun owners.)

Conclusion: "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
WE MUST BAN DOCTORS BEFORE THIS GETS COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, our statistician withheld data on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

TEACHING MATH was our 2005 Winner

 

Last week I purchased a cheeseburger for $2.58. The counter girl took my $3 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register with her mouth open. I sensed her discomfort and suggested to her to just give me two quarters, but she was compelled to hail the manager for help. When he tried to explain the nuances of the transaction to her, she stood there and began to cry.  Why do I tell you this?  So I can rant about the importance of understanding basic math and the flawed way it is now being taught. Here is the "History of Teaching Math" over the last 50 or so years:

Teaching Math In 1950

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is $80 and his profit is 20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20 and put a $ sign to the left (front) of it.

Teaching Math In 1990
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20 of capitalistic profit. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question:  How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their trees. (There are no wrong answers.)

Teaching Math In 2005

BAIL OUT MATH

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money. 

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases.

a.. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

b.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

c.. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

d.. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

e.. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While those numbers are still making our brain spin, this wasn't the first bail-out.  Let's take a look at New Orleans:


Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), asked Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what does it mean?


If you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans you each get $516,528.

Or, if you own one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, you get $1,329,787.

Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.


Washington, D.C. !!!.................

Are all your calculators broken????

 

$50 Certificate to Tam Cordingley


There have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months,

a total of 2112 deaths - a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

 
The rate in Washington D.C. (among others) is 80.6 per 100,000.

 
    That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our nation's capitol,

which has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
 
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.
