Naming your kangaroo "Jack" is very lame, but having strokes "all the time" is pretty tough, so it's a wash.

the motel allowed goats but not kangaroos...

Naturally. Kangaroos bark all night.

I have to stop going to McDonalds. I started salivating when I saw that kangaroo.

Oh I SO want to go the movies and see a kangaroo sitting in a seat eating popcorn.

Just once in my life. Really.

As the Moyers’ luck would have it, the motel allowed goats but not kangaroos.

Which motels allow goats?!?!? I don’t believe I care to stay there.

There's a joke President Reagan told about the way collectivist politicians treat rich people: A traveling salesman stays overnight with a farm family. When the family gathers to eat there's a pig seated at the table. And the pig has three medals hanging around his neck and a peg leg. The salesman says, "Um, I see you have a pig having dinner with you."

"Yes," says the farmer. "That's because he's a very special pig. You see those medals around his neck? Well, the first medal is from when our youngest son fell in the pond, and he was drowning, and that pig swam out and saved his life. The second medal, that's from when the barn caught fire and our little daughter was trapped in there and the pig ran inside, carried her out and saved her life. And the third medal, that's from when our oldest boy was cornered in the stock yard by a mean bull, and that pig ran under the fence and bit the bull on the tail and saved the boy's life."

"Yes," says the salesman, "I can see why you let that pig sit right at the table and have dinner with you. And I can see why you awarded him the medals. But how did he get the peg leg?"

"Well," says, the farmer, "a pig like that--you don't eat him all at once."

But ... but ... he’s in a cute little cart. His feet don’t even touch the floor. [see vid]

If he’s a service animal, how can they deny him a room ...or did this story happen in Bethlehem?

Two-year-old (Kangaroo) Jack, who is a registered service animal for Diana, helping her get through some recent troubled, emotional times, even "goes to the movies with us," Larry said. He sits there and eats popcorn and everything."

Just when you thought you'd heard it all...

ewwwww! a hotel that allows goats to stay? I want to know the name, so I know where NOT to stay!!!

We had a bit of a hard time finding places that allowed a cat when we moved. Thank goodness for La Quinta and Residence Inn!

You know, they should have gotten a more standard service animal...like, say a miniature horse.

If I only had a nickel for every wheelchair goat, kangaroo guide flaming RV story I’ve ever read... Nothing too unusual here-I mean, kangaroos are probably the marsupial best suited for being a service animal. Had they declared they had a platypus service animal I wouldn’t have believed a word!

Edward, who was injured in a car accident 13 years ago and needs a cart to get around because his front legs are useless,How did the goat get a driver's license in the first place? That's when they stopped letting goats have them. ;o)
