    If you’re a cat person, how do you make sure cats don’t go eating catnip in the same roach-infested house?

    Other sources say that the reindeer was a young doe, not full grown.

    Alas, the Trident was depth-charged by a Russian destroyer, the captain of which was sure that this was a Japanese sub with an animal on board. After all, the Red knows reindeer!

    When the submarine returned to the UK Pollyanna had grown to the extent that the services of the local slaughterman had to be used to truss her securely so she could be safely removed from the boat.2 Pollyanna then proceeded to live out the rest of her days in the local zoo.

    In 1941, the crew of HMS Trident were given a reindeer as a gift by the USSR navy. The 56 crewmen spent six weeks sharing their already confined living accommodation with the fully-grown reindeer nicknamed Pollyanna .They ought to make a movie about the adventures of this sub.

    And cockroaches are a natural human repellent. Therefore, if you want to find yourself alone, get some catnip.

    I’m sure people are finding different ways to spell covfefe, and then rationalizing a new meaning.
