It’s not the length, **wring**. It’s what’s inside that counts.

I’m not surprised. The fascists at the zoo made me apologize, too.

I’ll tell you what I told them: only if you give me back my pants.

On a seriouser note…

I’d like a warning on a thread which involves animals getting…

1. Run over
2. maimed
3. Torn apart by a wolverine on crack

I would never open thread like that since it really disturbs me.

What is really pathetic is “Stupid question about. . .” or even worse, "Really stupid question about. . . "

That’s pathetic.
