The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"And what's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher. "Now, Lucy?"
"Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks. And the moral to this story is, don't count your
chickens until they hatch."
"That was a fine story Lucy." "Johnny, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in Desert Storm; her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun; a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break; then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets, then she killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke; then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Don't screw with Aunt Karen when she's been drinking!"

Judge orders new treatment for ex-doctor found insane after killing wife

Rowan was committed to Western State in 1998, after a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity in the killing of his wife, Deborah, 33. He was accused of using a baseball bat and an ax to kill her on the day her $500,000 life-insurance policy went into effect, then trying to disguise her death as a traffic accident.

Too-familiar tale: Orca wants human playmates

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VICTORIA, B.C. -- It's the story of another isolated young killer whale becoming too friendly with boaters.

Like Springer, the orphan female orca moved from Puget Sound to her home waters off Vancouver Island last month, Luna has taken to swimming right up to boats to be touched and petted.

The 3-year-old male orca, apparently living on his own in Vancouver Island's Nootka Sound, cozied up to a kayak earlier this week in an apparent attempt to keep the craft from leaving the area, said Marc Pakenham, who helps coordinate Victoria's Marine Mammal Monitoring Project.

He said Luna is an orca calf that somehow become separated from his family and was first reported to be living on his own in Nootka Sound last fall.

The calf, known to scientists as L-98, was born in L-Pod, a group of "southern resident" orcas that frequent Washington state's inland waters.

He disappeared from his Washington home waters last summer.

His tendency to approach boats has developed in recent months, but his problem behaviors are not as entrenched as Springer's were, Pakenham said.

Luna appears to be eating well and looks pretty healthy, he said, but "it's just the habits that the calf is exhibiting right now that are worrisome."

Pakenham said steps should be taken to prevent Luna from becoming "a circus animal."

He has asked the federal Fisheries Department to send a special patrol boat to Nootka Sound, on Vancouver Island's northwest coast.

The idea is to approach boats near Luna's territory and let people know the implications of approaching him.

Nah... he's just a baby. A baby whale. A baby killer whale orca.
