FUN: The wise old German Shepherd

FROM A CHAIN EMAIL THAT I THOUGHT WAS FUNNY

*** begin quote ***

One day an old German Shepherd dog starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old German Shepherd dog thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep s*** now!”

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,

“Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?”

Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

“Whew!,” says the panther, “That was close! That old German Shepherd dog nearly had me!”

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.

The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”

Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now? But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says…

“Where’s that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!”

Moral of this story…

Don’t mess with the old dogs… Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!

BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.

If you don’t send this to five ‘old’ friends right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.

Of course, I am in no way insinuating that you are old, just ‘youthfully challenged’.

(You did notice the size of the print, didn’t you?)

Should New Jersey Ban All Cellphone Use by Motorists?
Federal transportation agency claims even hands-free use is hazardous.

Should drivers be banned from using a cellphone, even in hands-free mode?

The federal National Transportation Safety Board doesn’t believe it makes any difference whether the driver is holding the cellphone or using it in handsfree mode—all cellphone use by motorists is hazardous, the agency said. In a statement issued this week, the board (which has no legal authority to regulate cellphones itself) urged state governments to ban all cellphone use by drivers.

New Jersey already has one of the toughest laws in the nation on the use of cellphones while driving. And a bill introduced last month in the Assembly would make it even tougher, adding up to two months in jail to the current $100 fine.

Why bother?

Look how well speed limit laws work!

And, it just gives the State yet another way to take money and waste it.

How about we try a simple change? Let’s try making it an offense to cause an accident. Let’s make it in a trial for damages a prima facie 100% assignment of liability should it be proven that a cell phone was active in the car at the time of the accident. Let’s continue to convince people to VOLUNTARILY forgo using the cell phone when driving.

Laws don’t make a difference. Laws are unenforceable fairly. Laws don’t change “common sense” behavior.
