At the end of their date, a young man takes the young woman back to her home. He decides to try for that first kiss. With an air of confidence, he leans with his hand against the house siding next to the door, and, smiling, he says to her, “Darling, how ’bout a good night kiss?”
Embarrassed, she replies, “Oh, I couldn’t do that. My parents will see us!”
“Oh come on! Who’s gonna see us at this hour?”
“No, please. I would just die of embarrassment if someone saw us.”
“Aww — there’s nobody watching; they’re all sleeping!”
“No way. It’s just too risky!”
“Oh please, please, I like you so much!!”
“No. I like you too, but I just can’t!”
“Oh yes you can. Please?”
“NO, no. I just can’t.”
“Pleeeeease?…”
Out of the blue, the porch light goes on, and the girl’s little sister opens the door in her pajamas, hair disheveled. In a sleepy voice the sister says: “Dad says to go ahead and give him a kiss. Or I can do it. Or if need be, he’ll come down himself and do it. But for crying out loud tell him to take his hand off the intercom button!”
Hmmm, they can make anti-matter in a lab now, but only a few molecules suspended in a magnetic field. To pay to make an ounce of this stuff would cost more money than there is in the world. Wouldn’t that make it (gram for gram) the most expensive man made object on the world?
Given that cockpits of passenger jets now have reinforced doors, I was wondering how the cat got into the cockpit. Investigators don’t know for sure, but they think the cat entered the aircraft when it was being serviced inside a hangar. The cat hid, and came out of hiding 30 minutes after takeoff.
It is only that valuable because one person decided to pay that much for it. I bet in the right circumstances a glass of water would be more valuable to him, if he was dying of thirst for example. The correct terms would be cost or expensive, not valuable.
I’m not being snarky here, but I keep thinking that 100 miles in 21.75 miles isn’t that remarkable. What am I missing? Now I realize, walking for 21+ hours is a lot, but I think most of us could do it if we had to – even with a prosthetic leg.
Did anyone do the math on that treadmill “feat”? It was moving just slightly faster that 4-1/2mph — not very much faster than a walking speed. Sorry; I’m not impressed.

How could anyone not notice a cat going aboard an airplane before closing the gate when ready for takeoff?

That stowaway cat was probably using his frequent-flyer meows.

But do you think the owner of the stamp feels satisfied…..‘Look at me….I paid $8.3 million for a stamp’…..‘Well, that’s nice’…

I believe a gram of printer ink is the second most expensive human-made object.

If they didn’t make an emergency landing there might have been a (CAT)astrophe!

OK. Right now there are NO comments about the comic content, only about Eromlig’s joke of the day. Maybe he needs his own comic.

That’s about 13 minutes per mile

After that flight, the pilot knew what a cat fight was like…

Cats are good at getting into places. They get into ball games and everything else. They would make great spies… Oh, wait… That didn’t work very well…

First case of a catjacking. I hope the case goes to an all dog jury.
