Very fun, Doc. Where do you get all these, anyway?

Did you hear about the woman in Florida who had a gator in her house? It was attacking her dog, so she pulled out her rifle and started firing. The gator was wounded, but not killed. She called Animal Control, and they came, took the gator away, and gave the lady a citation and a large fee for "hunting out of season and in city limits". (I don't have a source for this, it was on the radio this morning . . . now nobody get mad at me for plagarism, please )

Ridiculous, eh?

This is the daily from that "one" school in Provo, BYU . . . I don't even want to know what they're talking about when they say "being clean".

Had not heard that one, but wish I had!  It would have fit in here perfectly!
