I think you are exactly right. We tend to baby him a little too much, I think. LOL But he is such a little guy, it is hard not to.
An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!" Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
"Well... Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"
LOL! Love the Government in Action graphic on RT.com! How true it is!
Hi Luv; here's another ......
One day a man took the train from Paris to Frankfurt. When he got in he said to the ticket man:
"Sir. I really need you to do me a favor, I have to get off this train in Mannheim, but I'm very tired and it is for sure that I will fall asleep. So what I want you to do is wake me up in Mannheim because I have to close a business deal there and it is very important for me. Here you have 100 francs for the favor. But I warn you sometimes when people wake me up I get really violent, but no matters what I do or say you got to get me out of this train in Mannheim. Is that clear?"
So the ticket man agreed and took the 100 francs. Later as the man had said he fell asleep, and when he woke up he realized that he was in Frankfurt. He was so mad at the ticket man that he ran over and started yelling at the ticket man.
"Are you stupid or something??? I paid you 100 francs so that you wake me up in Mannheim. And you didn't, so I want my money back!"
While the man was yelling at the ticket guy, two other guys that were also in the train were looking at them, so one turns to the other and says to him:
Man 1: "Look at this guy! He is mad!"
Man 2: "Yeah! He's almost as mad as the guy they made get out of the train in Mannheim."
Hee-hee!
Thanks for the links, Rus.
Great site you have there.
I clicked on Gracie1's link and enjoyed seeing the pictures of that area of the country, the picture of the Biker Chick was too much, some people will do anything to get attention! lol
Can you imagine doing anything like that? Good grief! LOL.
Hugs to one of my very favorite sistahs. Hoping things have been going well for you. :-)
We didn't take a vacation this summer, just went to Gatlinburg a few times and spent the night.

Good evening, Aqua.
It is great to see you this fine Tuesday. :)
I couldn't believe Gracie's picture of bare-butt lady. I can't imagine anyone running around half 'neckid' in public. :)
Do I sound like an old fogey? LOL
LOL! That's a good one, Amy.

Thanks Amy.. I have fun building it.
It is great to hear that you are getting your message heard.
Now .... if the voters will pay attention to what they are hearing, NY might get some intelligent representation.
I am doing what I can in a district that is 2 to 1 dem..
