I'm reminded of Harold and Maude:
Maude: Harold, *everyone* has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can't let the world judge you too much.
Jack the kangaroo is stuck here, along with his owners, Larry and Diana, and a goat.

Holy crap!
I thought this was some sort of parody until I saw the photos.
Now I’m not so sure...
“He has them all the time” RE: strokes is the quote that made me think this might not be a real story.
From the Fox link above:
Larry explained how Jack saved his life a year ago when he had a heart attack.
"He went and got my wife and woke her up in the middle of the night so she could get me to the hospital. So he saved my life," said Moyer.
Diana and Jack shopping ....
Did you notice that these people got through this ordeal without one government handout! I think that's what makes it news--LOL!
Hmmm...I think I would of voted for the Kangaroo over McClame or Oblahblah. The goat would of been a better vp than Biden.
ping!
I'm all for people doing their own thing. However, Kind of hard to generate sympathy for them when they do their own thing and it jumps up and bites them.
I've never even *heard* of someone with a kangaroo for a pet. Or, a "wheelchair-assisted goat".
I want to take that 'roo out for a beer and movie with popcorn.
Jack was nestled in Diana's lap as she drove, like a 60-pound Yorkshire terrier.I certainly hope that wasn't the way she was driving. Yorkshire terriers are terrible drivers. If you've got the choice, always let the labrador drive. :=)
Note the leg shackles... probably to keep him from “gutting” the bag boy at the check-out counter.

Nicholas Cage should star in the Cohen Brothers movie version.....
There are reports of a new problem in Australia. Some of the kangaroos have developed a thirst for revenge against the traffic that keeps knocking them down. Drivers have reported that they'll pass a herd of roos that are hopping along peacefully, but as soon as they've passed them, the roos suddenly change direction, and veer right towards the vehicle. The driver then has to drive as quickly as possible to escape the rampaging marsupials. Drivers are being urged to keep an eye on their veer-roo mirror at all times.
OMG - this is too funny for words!
How did the goat get a driver's license in the first place?
The only Yorkie we ever had would not stoop to driving. She was a princess and would nag the driver into making sure she was completely comfie. She would think the car was too hot- too cold, nag the driver into adjusting temp. She would nag for a window to be let down a hair- adjust the pillow she rode on, turn down the radio- her demands were endless. We named her Miss Daisy and said we were “driving Miss Daisy.” Miss Daisy was found wandering the streets lost by one of my daughters and controlled our house & car for 8 months before we located her owner. He was thrilled to have his “Minnie” back and we still miss Daisy.
