A man scolded his son for being so unruly and the child rebelled. He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, "I'm running away from home!"

The father calmly decided to look at the matter logically. "What if you get hungry?" he said.

"Then I'll come home and eat!" bravely declared the child.

"And what if you run out of money?"

Oh look, Chicken Thursday.

I'm a little unsettled, this chicken Thursday. After giving chickens their own special day for years, I just heard that "Birds Aren't Real!"

You can help me through this difficult time by clicking on the following link, watching the video it points to, and letting me know what you think:

Birds Aren't Real?

A mother and a daughter are shopping in the mall, when the mother eyes an expensive fur coat.

"This year," she says, "I think that I will buy my present instead of making you and dad shop for me."

The daughter nods in agreement.

"And I think this fur coat would be perfect too," the mother continued.

The daughter protests, "But mom, some poor, helpless creature had to suffer so that you can have this."

"Don't worry Honey," says the mother, "your father won't get the bill for a couple of weeks."

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

Three dinosaurs stumble across a magic lamp. They rub it, and a genie appears.

"I have three wishes, so I'll give one to each of you," the genie announces.

The first dinosaur thinks hard. 

"Alright," he says, "I'll have a big, juicy, piece of meat."

Instantly, the biggest, juiciest piece of meat he'd ever seen appears in front of him.

Not to be outdone, the second dinosaur thinks even harder.

"I know! I'll have a shower of meat!"

Immediately, huge pieces of meat rain down around him.

The third dinosaur, certainly not to be outdone, thinks harder than the previous dinosaurs.

"I've got it!" he cries, "I want a MEATIER shower!"

"The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."

On a long drive from Virginia, I thought I was traveling at a reasonable speed, but the flashing blue lights in my rearview mirror made me realize that I'd been over the limit. I handed the officer my license and made small talk while my wife dug through the glove compartment for the registration.

"I'm usually very careful about my speed," I told him as my wife handed me the paperwork.

The officer studied it and then gave it back. "Sir," he said gruffly, "this is not your registration."

Apparently I had handed him a warning ticket that I had received for speeding in South Carolina.

A young woman who was worried about her habit of biting her fingernails down to the quick was advised by a friend to take up yoga.

She did, and soon her fingernails were growing normally. Her friend asked her if yoga had totally cured her nervousness.

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.
