Things I Can Learn from a Dog (...& a Cat)
Hey Andrew (Darby)~
Very entertaining story re your enthusiastic 'weed watering' brother, a classic! "Toke it or leave it" was pretty punny too.
On the subject of animals and 'getting high', anybody seen a drunk cat?
My dad liked brandy custard on his Christmas pudding, no fake flavouring for him - this was the 'real deal', and quite strong. Well, the jug was left on the kitchen bench to cool, and (as cat people know) that's the same as on the floor with a sign saying 'come & get it'. So, Pandora, (our cat family matriarch) decided to do a paw-dip sampling...and apparently liked it. We couldn't understand why she was walking 'funny' and weaving across the floor. Finally the jug was noticed, somewhat depleted...."Oh, for heaven's sake, she's drunk! The little piss pot!"

(As a punster, you know it's awfully tempting to suggest a special thread dedicated to this humorous diversion and wicked manipulation of the language - but then again, maybe its better to just have it integrated as part of the normal and spontaneous dialogue of the forum?)

a deep circle???
Now that is an interesting concept.
Since circles are 2D it is difficult to imagine a deep one unless it takes on a spherical form then it cannot be called a circle anymore. If you try to extend a linear measurement of the circle then it only becomes a larger circle and not deeper. If it is stretched one way in order to create depth (although depth would have to be interpreted as width or length or in this case, a diameter ) then it will lose its shape and be no more a circle... probably an ellipse.
If we do all have to stand in a circle when we get there I will claim the best spot.. the centre..... to keep me warm. I will pray for those on the circumference.

Pete
