    A goosed-up story

    A little boy was on the school bus after a day at school.

    He was driving the bus driver driver crazy by talking about what he had learned about animals in class in a very loud and annoying voice.

    He said, “If my dad was a bull and my mom was a cow, I’d be a calf! If my dad was a rooster and my mom was a hen, I’d be a little chick! If my dad was a gander and my mom was a goose, I’d be a gosling!”

    Finally the bus driver loses it and snarls at the little boy, “If your dad was a blithering idiot and your mom was a freaking moron, what would that make you?”

    Somewhat stumped for a moment, he replies, “A bus driver, maybe?”

    Those grasshoppers are not extinct, they’re all in North Dakota, smearing windshields and plugging radiators.

    Is that why it’s called that? I thought it was gras-shopper, named for people who died while shopping for pate de foie gras.

    Wait five minutes, some researcher will try to revive a frozen grasshopper, and unfortunately, succeed.

    Once the prices go back down the crass shoppers will help contribute to climate change and thaw out the tens of millions of hibernating “extinct” grasshoppers to bring about the next plague and famine.

    Well, it must’ve been a wild goose since no domesticated one would do such a ridiculous stunt. ;-p

    Amazing that penguins can hear! I guess if fish can hear, so can birds. What new revelations will be in store for tomorrow! ;-p
