Well, it's a slow Thursday morning on the forum, so here's a little funny story.  Not meant to be political at all, so please just read, laugh at/with it and delete.   ---Bill (flooded out in Houston area) Lewis







 
Having lived in California, I can relate to this...

THE COYOTE


The Governor of 
  California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. 

A 
  coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the 
  Governor. 

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects 
  upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the 
  coyote is only doing what is natural. 

2. He calls animal 
  control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the State $200 
  testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. 

3. He calls 
  a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 
  testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to a hospital and 
  spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting his 
  bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 
  months while the Fish & Game Commission conducts a $100,000 survey to make 
  sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. 

6. The Governor 
  spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" 
  for residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 
  million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently 
  eradicate the disease throughout the world. 

8. The Governor's 
  security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The State spends $150,000 
  to hire and train a new agent with additional special training re: the nature 
  of coyotes.

9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a 
  $5 million suit against the State. 

  
  *************************************************************

The 
  Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A 
  Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor shoots the 
  coyote with his State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has 
  spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. 

2. The 
  Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, my friends, is why 
  California is broke and Texas is not.
