Summer Thinking

"Summer Thinking"

In the heat of summer, a fly was resting on
a leaf beside a lake.

A hot, dry fly who said to no one in particular,
"Gosh, if I go down three inches I will feel the
mist from the water and I will be refreshed."

There was a fish in the water thinking, "Gosh,
if that fly goes down three inches I can eat him."

There was a bear on the shore thinking, "Gosh,
if that fly goes down three inches...that fish will
jump for the fly and I will eat him."

It also happened that a hunter was further up the
bank of the lake preparing to eat a cheese
sandwich. "Gosh," he thought, "if that fly goes
down three inches, and that fish leaps for it, that
bear will expose himself and grab for the fish. I'll
shoot the bear and have a proper lunch."

You probably think this is enough activity for one
bank of a lake. But I can tell you there was more.

A wee mouse by the hunter's foot was thinking,
Gosh, if that fly goes down three inches, and
that fish jumps for that fly, and that bear grabs
for that fish, the dumb hunter will shoot the bear
and drop his cheese sandwich."

A cat lurking in the bushes took in this scene and
thought, as was fashionable to do on the banks
of this particular lake around lunch time.

"Gosh, if that fly goes down three inches, and that
fish jumps for that fly, and that bear grabs for that
fish, and that hunter shoots the bear, and that
mouse makes off with the cheese sandwich;
then I can have a mouse for lunch."

After a while all this did happen except the cat
miscalculated its pounce at the mouse. The cat,
instead of landing on the mouse, rolled head over
paws and rolled into the lake. Splash!

The moral of the story:

When the fly goes down three inches, the pussy is going to get wet!

"Rescuing the Cat"

Larry, a local football star, is jogging down the street
when he sees a building on fire. A lady is standing
on a third story ledge holding her pet cat in her arms.

"Hey, lady," yells Larry, "Throw me the cat."

"No," she cries, "It's too far."

"I play football, I can catch him."

The smoke is pouring from the windows, and finally,
the woman waves to Larry, kisses her cat goodbye,
and tosses it down to the street.

Larry keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling
down toward him. The feline bounces off an awning
and Larry runs into the street to catch it. He jumps
six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one
handed catch. The crowd that has gathered to
watch the fire breaks into cheers.

Larry does a little dance, lifts the cat above his
head, wiggles his knees back and forth, then spikes
the cat into the pavement.
.........

Larry remains in serious condition after the cat
owner was done with him...
