” South Indian bitches are in demand because they are flexible, vegetarian, have excellent personalities and are low maintenance that's why Europeans and Asians desire them. While Indians long to keep European breeds of dogs, many Westerners, especially the French, Germans and Greeks, as well as people in Singapore and Malaysia, prefer to get a South Indian pedigree dog, native to this town, according to two owners of a kennel here. Ashok Kumar and Surendra Babu, owners of a kennel and who specialise in South Indian breeds, say they are unable to meet the demand for Rajapalayam dogs, also known as Paleiyakarans or Poligars. "Every month we get orders for 50 pairs, each costing Rs 4,500, from Indians and Westerners. But we are unable to meet the demand. We can supply only 20 pairs" they told a reporter.
Rajapayalams were originally bred to kill boars. The surge in interest in this rare type of dog is affecting other lines as well. The Kennels also have the chippiparai breed, a hound used to kill pigs which destroy fields. Apart from the Rajapalayam dogs, people of Shencottah near here are now reviving the genuine 'Shencottah' dogs, a rare breed, with the help of doctors, says Raviram, a kennel owner.
Europeans can have their boar hounds, I'm all about my German Shepherd.”
It took me a second to follow where the author of this blog was going...

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
All from the one, the only:

NEVER TICK OFF A NURSE
A big shot attorney had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did his staff. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him.
The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She came into his room and announced, “I have to take your temperature.” After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
“No, I’m sorry,” the nurse stated, “but for this reading, I can’t use an oral thermometer.”
This started another round of complaining but eventually he rolled over and bared his behind.
After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, “I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!”
She left the door to his room open on her way out. He cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past his door, laughing.
After a half hour, the man’s doctor came into the room.
“What’s going on here?” asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answered, “What’s the matter, Doc? Haven’t you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?”
After a pause, the doctor confessed..... “Not with a carnation.”
Don’t you insult Curious George like that!!!!!

I could use the OFST today. I'm in tax rebate rant mode. According to our tax software, we're getting the grand total of...$32. That's not our refund, mind you. We're not getting a refund. That's our REBATE. And no, we don't make beaucoup $$$. We're just both working with no kids at home to claim as deductions. It really sucks. I was going to buy another gun.
Hope those of you getting rebates have fun spending my money. Buy American.
