What next, squirrels as pets?

How about apes?

How about apes?

No because in the future, Apes will HAVE US as pets.

In the below case, that wouldn't be so bad.

Petunia organized POOPY on the PETA model. It is incorporated in New Jersey at the site of the last pig farm in Secaucus. Oh, what does POOPY stand for?

Pigs Ornery Over Pot-belly Pig Yuppies.

Honest. Would you like to join? $300 a year and 100% of the net is donated to the homeless in St. Francis, WI in memory of all those Cudahy porkers.

I think their popularity soared around 1992. After eight years of having a pair in the White House, the fascination has worn off.

I see... just another liberal pig looking for a handout.

There are no homeless in St. Francis, unless you are counting former Harnishfaeger execs.

I once saw somebody with a ferret in a harness on a leash. He was trying to take the ferret for a walk down the sidewalk which I guess is perfectly possible with ferrets. But this ferret kept lying down in the middle of the sidewalk. I guess he didn't want to take a walk just then. It was pretty funny.

I stopped eating squirrels when a good friend of mine refered to a rat as a ground squirrel.

put me off my feed since then when it comes to squirrels.

What kind of work do ferrets do?

Believe it or not, I read about a guy who uses one to pull cable, or at least the string. He runs a cabling business, and when he needs to run cable under a raised floor, like in a computer room, or over a suspended ceiling, he'll take out a tile where the cable starts, and another one where he wants it to end up. Then he ties a string around the ferret's collar and puts him up in the ceiling (or under the floor) and holds a piece of strawberry poptart at the other end.

A few seconds later the ferret appears to get his piece of poptart, and the guy unties the string and ties it to his cable to pull back with the string.

Have you ever seen a nutria? Disgusting creatures -- big rats with orange teeth. In an effort to deal with the ever-growing nutria population, Louisiana (my home state) is actually trying to pass them off as haute cuisine. Don't fall for it. If you see nutria on the menu in some hoity-toity restaurant, don't order it.
