(I know you asked for no flaming except to your personal email address,
but couldn't resist answering this kind of "humor" in the listserv.)
Besides the occasion when my now deceased Siamese cat saved my life as
flames slowly engulfed my trailor, by waking me up with noise,teeth &
claws, one could possibly find a use for cats by cracking open a history
book about the 14th century Bubonic Plague that almost wiped out Europe.
Prior to the outbreak of the 'Black Death', the 'Church' had ordained
that cats were 'Evil' & ordered them destroyed by the thousands. This
resulted in the proliferation of rats that carried the flea which was
the host for the disease, since their only natural predator had been
virtually eliminated. Only when this mistake was realized, was the 'evil
cat' allowed to make a comeback and the disease eventually controlled.
Amazing isn't it? As far as the Comedian(?) Steven Wright's "joke"; He'd
better have an extremely fast car if he tried to take out our family pet
in the yard; Might get an entire new appreciation for the possibility of
an afterlife.(My version of 'Comedy'.)
Good Growing,
Doug
