Cats Who Are Terrified of Mice

Cats Who Eat From Cut Glass Dishes
The adorable ball of fluff Persian just isn’t cut off for mousing. A couple of years of cat kibble in cut glass dishes, a regular shampoo and blow dry and ultra elegant manicures at the pet groomer may be the reason Mr. Moolah is terrified of mice. The privileged set usually allow lesser breeds, like Tabbies, to clean up excess a stray mouse or two. Work is the other excuse, ahem, reason for their fear. Fear of work, that is.

There More Than a Mouse to Fear
Persians hide true girth under those long, silky coats. This is girth amassed from lying about on their magic carpets too long. When a strange, taupe-hued rodent passes in front of their royal noses, they’d retreat to higher ground. That’s when their magic carpets come in handy for quick escapes in the face of public displays of cowardice. Cats who are terrified of mice should live in glass houses with protective walls an inch thick. After all, one mouse soon becomes a small army of rodent soldiers ready to reek havoc on the Persian’s elegant casbah. That’s a cat’s worst nightmare. Time top call the Tabbies.

Ridiculous Insurance Claims You Won’t Believe

You would be surprised the kinds of things people try to make insurance claims about. On its surface “insurance” doesn’t exactly sound like an area ripe for comedy, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of people don’t really understand the complexities of policies and providers which can lead to some pretty hilarious claims.

- An eager beaver employee tried to file a claim against a bus driver for allegedly causing an accident. The accident in question occurred when the employee backed into a bus at the end of his driveway. Supposedly the bus was five minutes earlier than usual – clearly at fault.

- One actual homeowner claim form stated that a broken window was the result of voodoo.

- A homeowner living in Roswell, New Mexico attempted to bring his home insurance claim to court for failing to cover the housing damages supposedly caused by a UFO attack. Needless to say, the case was laughed out of court.

These are just a few real-life examples, but it’s important, regardless of what you are trying to insure, that you understand the details inside out. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming but, at least in the case of home insurance, there are handy dandy references like these that can help break it down:

Regardless of where you end up in life, it’s important to understand the specifics when it comes to insurance. Unless you want to end up on this list…

Why Does Your Dog Chase Its Tail?

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Dogs chase their tails for a variety of different reasons. Some dogs get bored easily and chase their tails as entertainment. Other dogs just think it’s the cool thing to do. Whatever reason your dog has for chasing his tail, he is having fun.

Imagine if you were a dog and your owner left you all alone everyday. You would probably become very bored and resort to doing things like digging through the garbage, barking at yourself in the mirror or chasing your tail. Chasing your tail would make you feel as though you were running through the woods on the trail of a rabbit or you were an Indy car driver.

Some dogs chase their tails because they’ve seen other dogs do it and thought it was the cool thing to do. Just like us people, dogs look at what other dogs do too. Some dogs are leaders who start the tail chasing, other dogs are followers and join in on the fun.

Your dog chases it tail for many reasons, many of which you will never completely understand. The next time you see your dog chasing his tail, don’t judge him; instead, encourage him and you may just have fun as well.

Registered Dietician Dies Choking On Taco

A registered dietician from New York has died while choking on a taco. He had a reputation of being harsh on his clients if they are foods that are high in fat. His daily routine would involve speaking to obese clients about how their diets were terrible. He would apparently lie to them and tell them that he never eats tacos or anything of that sort. Unfortunately, he has been exposed to be dishonest through his death.

This registered dietician was hungry at about 11pm on Sunday night and he made a trip to Taco Bell. He made sure that he drove to the one that was an hour from his home so that his clients would not see him and feel that it is ok to stop their diet. The dietician ordered 16 tacos and a soda. He sat down and ate three tacos very fast.

Once he was eating his fourth taco, a lady that looked like one of his clients walked into the restaurant. In order to move fast, the gentleman quickly gobbled down his fourth taco without thinking. It got stuck in his throat and his eye became very big and his face was red. He slowly fell down next to the table and his client came over and found him dying while eating a fattening taco! I guess he was not very sneaky!

911 Caller Reports Traffic Accident While Robbing Store

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

When we watch crime shows on television, we are often treated to complicated cases in which the criminal leads the detectives down a windy road of twists and turns until finally, the criminal either slips up or the detectives have a brilliant or lucky breakthrough. However, in real life, low-level criminals are certainly not the brightest of people. The same critical lack of judgement that causes them to pursue a life of crime is the same one that causes them to make monumental errors in their attempts to pull off the crime. Such as, let’s say, a would-be robber calling 911 to report a traffic accident outside.

But that’s not even the worst story! Another delinquent walked into a liquor store with the intent of robbing it. As everyone is expected to do at the liquor store, he handed the clerk his driver’s license, and then attempted to rob him, while the clerk was still holding his I.D.! Not surprisingly, this criminal was apprehended fairly quickly. A kid in Florida attempted to hold up a store with a finger gun hand gesture. After the sales clerk realized that this “criminal” wasn’t joking, he easily shooed him out of the store.

Smelliest Gas Station Restrooms In America

Which one of us haven’t been on a trip and the must need to go is really a must need to go and you can’t hold it any longer? Of course, we all have but where do we stop? Oh just pull over anywhere it doesn’t matter, oh yes it does. We all been in some of the stinkiest, dirtiest, most disgusting gas station restrooms in America.
I once had the unique experience of working at a convenience gas station store and my job was to clean the restrooms. I understand a man that has been drinking or simply not paying attention might miss the toilet from time to time, but women sit down.The whole story can be found at http://techtwins.com/2012/04/19/twins-tips-on-better-customer-service-cleanliness-of-bathrooomsintro/ What possessed these people to desecrate my clean bathroom with their defecation . One time a women came into the store with a green look on her face, and shouted clean your restroom,although those weren’t her exact words. I went to the restroom and I guess this is where the feces hits the fan. There was poop everywhere and to make matters worse the women had apparently lost her cookies when she had seen it or should I say smelt it, this explained her green complexion. I went in the store and grabbed a bottle of bleach and just went to it. This was a day I will never forget.

Man Blows Up Apartment Complex with Roach Bomb

Recently, a New Jersey man had been trying to rid his apartment of insects using wild, uncontrolled bursts of insecticide to exterminate the vile bugs. Everyone should be relieved to know that he made a great deal of progress in his efforts but somehow destroyed 80 percent of his apartment in the explosion that followed.

One cannot help but to think of Ripley muttering under her breath in Aliens, “I say we nuke the whole thing from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

How many cans of Raid would it take to cause an explosion of this magnitude? A representative of raid is quoted with the following: ” Since a standard, 17.5-ounce can of Raid contains about 0.29 liters of propane and similar propellants, you would need to empty at least 50 full cans of bug spray…”

This guy REALLY does not like bugs, apparently to the point of endangering himself and everyone living near him. One would think that the poisonous fumes would have gotten to him before the explosion hit. Despite being Mr’ Darwin’s favorite candidate for elimination from our gene pool, the Bug Bomb Bandit lived through his ordeal. It is unknown if any major casinos are taking odds on his chances for surviving his next brilliant plan.
Can’t get enough? There’s more: Explosions, gun shots rock Kano
