Just a thought....

Hot,buttered pussy hovering near ELP's white carpet????Confused

Cows are unable to walk downhill or down a staircase.

This is the reason why

a) cows fill the hilltops in the Alps

b) the stupid cow is still in your upstairs bedroom when your wife gets home.

It's dark outside and I should be going home to see the missus and kids but I'm too busy listening to "Interior Lulu" by Marillion.

Now that is trivia!

The four kings in a deck of playing cards each represent an actual king. Does anybody know which ones??

c) Changed sex and ran in the 1968 Olympics as a woman?

a) He committed Hara-Kiri!!!!!Confused

Thanks for the underwhelming responseWink

 

He did certainly NOT commit Hara-Kiri. The word "Hara-Kiri" is considered to be lower colloquial. The correct word for this kind of ritual suicide is "Seppuku" (which literally means "Stomach-cutting"). No Japanese who is about to practice this kind of suicide would call it "Hara-Kiri".

You forgot something important, Jim. This only works for a TOASTED cat!

I tried the experiment with one of our cats, but it wouldn't fit into the toaster, and now I have 3 long scratches on my left arm. Ah well!
