    I have always been told that natural gas has no odor. The smell is added to it so leaks can be more easily detected. So, maybe it would be better to say that natural gas has an odor added to it that smells like durian.

    Story about the Mating Season

    A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous beasts.

    Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then on west to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.

    They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each and every day.

    For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists’ camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.

    They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists because they feared an international incident.

    They killed the female and cut open the bear’s stomach… only to find the remains of the Russian.

    One ranger turned to the other and said, “You know what this means, don’t you?”

    “Of course,” the other ranger nodded, “The Czech is in the male.”

    As teenagers we did that yellow-blue thing. And yes the sacs did inflate.

    During mating season the male frogs that don’t manage to mate have other sacs that true blue too.

    I have eaten durian and if you like a strong, rotten smell then you will love this — reminded me of roquefort cheese which smells like dirty feet to me.However, if you eat durian that is not ripe the smell is very mild.And I had durian chips which tasted like plain potato chips.

    A friend took me to eat durian in Malaysia and I was told it smells really awful but I couldn’t smell anything, but I can’t smell garlic, either, something must be missing in my genes. I saw a hotel there with a sign in front that said “No smoking and no durians”

    An avid bird watcher heard an owl hoot.

    So he thought he’d give a hoot back. To his surprise and delight the bird hooted again. The next night the same scenario occurred.

    All Summer, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth. He even kept a log of the “conversations.”

    Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in inter species communication, his wife had a chat with her next door neighbor.

    “My husband spends his nights calling to owls,” the wife commented.

    “That’s odd,” the neighbor replied. “So does my husband.”

    If you liked this fine, but if not, well, I really don’t give a hoot!
