In The News:

In A Survey Of One Elk, Bottled Water Is The Preferred Drink!

In the debate over whether bottled water tastes better than tap water, Clyde the elk votes for the bottle every time. Clyde is a domesticated elk who was born and raised on a ranch and lives at the privately run Wyman Living History Museum outside this northwest Colorado city.

It’s not clear who gave him his first bottle of water, but he now spurns the ranch’s well and a 6,000-gallon tank of city water. It might be that Clyde likes the bottle more than the water. Julie Harris, his caretaker, said she sometimes sneaks city water into his bottles to cut costs.

Clyde’s owner, Lou Wyman, said Clyde was bottle-fed after his mother died giving birth. Wyman got out of the elk business 10 years ago, but kept the newborn Clyde. He’s now a massive bull with huge antlers and has become a big attraction at Wyman’s museum.

Two Headed Turtle:

A pet store has bought a two-headed turtle from a collector and plans to keep it on display, the store manager said. The 2-month-old turtle, actually conjoined red-eared slider twins, fits on a silver dollar.

It has two heads sticking out from opposite ends of its shell, along with a pair of front feet on each side. But there is just one set of back feet and one tail.

The turtle is apparently healthy, and the species can live 15 to 20 years, said Jay Jacoby, manager of Big Al’s Aquarium Supercenter. The turtle has not yet been named.

The store would not disclose how much it paid.

Just Joking:

Give Him Back Or I’ll Sue:

An engineer died and ended up in Hell. He was not pleased with the level of comfort in Hell, and began to redesign and build improvements. After a while, they had toilets that flush, air conditioning, and escalators. Everyone grew very fond of him.

One day God called to Satan to mock him, “So, how’s it going down there in Hell?”

Satan replied, “Hey, things are great. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”

God was surprised, “What? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake. He should never have gone down there in the first place. Send him back up here.”

“No way,” replied Satan. “I like having an engineer, and I’m keeping him.”

God threatened, “Send him back up here now or I’ll sue!”

Satan laughed and answered, “Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”

Aren’t Kids Great?

Two children ordered their mother to stay in bed one Mother’s Day morning. As the smell of bacon floated up from the kitchen, she lay in eager anticipation the lovely breakfast her helpful, caring children were making for her.

However, after a good long wait, she finally went downstairs to investigate. She found them both sitting at the table eating bacon and eggs.

“As a surprise for Mother’s Day,” one explained, “we decided to cook our own breakfast.”
