Quote Of The Day

Seen in some newspaper article or other Somewhere On Teh Intarwebz (SOTI):

…a.k.a. the “You Don’t Say!” department.

That said, I once made a used-car salesman so angry that he challenged me to a fight outside the showroom.  Connie just looked at him, then looked at me and said:  “Just don’t kill him, okay?”

Challenge was withdrawn.

Meanwhile In Texas

Here we go:

A Texas woman was left with brutal injuries after she was viciously attacked by both a snake and a hawk while mowing her lawn. 

Peggy Jones told how she’d been on a tractor mower when the snake fell out of the sky and landed on her at her home in Silsbee.

As it began to tighten around her arm, a hawk then swooped down, and began clawing at a defenseless Jones in an effort to grab its prey.

Beat THAT, Australia.
