Man, woman and four dogs in a bed
IS THIS a doggies’ doss-house?
A Tennessee couple woke to find they were sharing their bed with a large, cuddly dog. Jimmy Johnson rolled over and asked his wife: “Julie, whose dog is this?”
But the story gets more strange, according to The Huffington Post.
The Johnsons have three large dogs which sleep with their owners anyway on their king-size bed.
Had word got around in the doggie world that the Johnsons are a good bet for bed and breakfast? The Johnson dogs made no fuss at all when the newcomer arrived and joined them.
The couple shot photos and posted them on Facebook to find her owners.
“This is the weirdest post I have ever had to make,” Julie Johnson wrote. “Is this your dog?”
She got a response. The dog – they now know her name is Nala – had slipped away from her owners while on a walk just ahead of a thunderstorm.
She squeezed through a loose door at the Johnsons’ home to find somewhere safe and warm to wait out the storm.
Dogs just know when there’s king-size bed waiting. a
Arrest this man!
A FLORIDA man made repeated calls to the 911 police emergency number, insisting that law-enforcement officers should arrest President Joe Biden.
He also wanted them to release former drugs kingpin Joaqin “El Chapo” Guzman, according to The Huffington Post.
Jacob Philbeack, 29, was warned to stop abusing the 911 service.
When he persisted, officers went around to his home, arrested him, and took him to the county jail.
It’s understood that alcohol played a part in the case.
Whoops!
ON RUSSIAN state TV this week, Mikhail Khodarenok, a military analyst and retired colonel, warned, according to the BBC, that the situation would clearly get worse (for Russia) as Ukraine received additional military assistance from the West and “the Ukrainian army can arm a million people”.
I wonder who’s in the worse trouble – Col Khodarenok or the TV programmer?
Generic condition
OVERHEARD IN the Street Shelter for the Over-Forties: “Many people ask why I drink so much whisky. It’s because I have a generic condition whereby my body doesn’t produce its own alcohol. Therefore I’m forced to take a supplement.”
Senior ravers
SIGN in the foyer of an old folks’ home: “We’re not senior citizens, we’re recycled teenagers.”
That’s the way!
Curate’s wanderings
A CODED limerick:
There was a young curate of Salisbury Whose conduct was halisbury-scalisbury. He wandered about Hampshire Without any pampshire
’Til his vicar compelled him to walisbury.
Key: Latin name for Salisbury – Sarum. Postal address for Hampshire – Hants.
Tailpiece
FIRST dog owner: “My dog is so smart that every morning he goes to the store and buys me a sesame seed bagel with chive cream cheese, stops off at Starbucks and picks me up a mocha latte, and then comes home and turns on the TV, all before I get out of bed.” Second dog owner “I know.” “How do you know?”
“My dog told me.”
Last word
THE gambling known as business looks with austere disfavour upon the business known as gambling.
