And especially, dogs can detect the electric current running your vacuum cleaner!

And on a less happy New Year’s note, I hope you’re satisfied now, Mr. J Shrilly.

Grandma vil helfen du!

JohnShirley1 said about some time ago.

“Don’t spit on the floor.”

John, I would never do that.

Just imagine what the DMV would be like if it handled first-aid training, too.

In World War I there was trench warfare, and neither the Americans nor the Germans could get the upper hand. They were reaching a stalemate. One day, an American came up with a plan that would win them the war. This private explained his plan to his trench mates, and they figured, “Why not? It’s not like we have any better ideas.” The next day, an American soldier called out, “Hans!?” A German popped up and shouted back, “Ja?!” Boom, the German was shot dead. The next day the Americans shouted again, “Hans?!” “Ja?!” Shot dead. This process continued over the next couple of days. The Germans were losing large numbers, and were now finally catching on.

The Germans had an emergency meeting. They thought they could come back from the heavy losses using the same tactics as the Americans. Thus, a German asked, “What is a popular American name?” “John!” replied another. The next day, the Germans decided to execute their plan. A German shouted, “John!?” An American called back, “Is that you Hans?!” “Ja!” And that is how the Americans won WWI.

Dogs can detect electric currents? Wow, just wow. Not.

So can people. Just watch someone stick their finger in a light socket.

That’s the difference between Germany and here. Here, if you tried to give another driver first aid, you’d be on the receiving end of a lawsuit.

I can detect electric currents. I can tell you right away… up to a certain amperage… over that, you have to wait until I recover from the coma. And at very high currents, you’ll get the report from the coroner :D

If you think dogs don’t drive, then have a looky ( and scroll down)

Of course dogs can detect electrical currents. How do you think the first poodle came about: as a result of a pug in a puddle zapped by a lamp cord (don’t try this at home). Thus the name poodle. This is well known.

Take care, may California Motor Vehicle Department employee Juanita “They Want To Drive Just Like The Rest Of Us And Heck Four Legs Are Better Than Just Two Sometimes I Guess Oh Shut Up And Leave Me Alone It’s Break Time” Shortfuseord be with you, and gesundheit.

I would guess the USA.

Go comics is in the USA I believe.

In Canada, we have the “Good Samaritan” law. If you stop to help someone, you cannot be sued for doing so. Americans are lawsuit crazy. They will sue for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

There may be a requirement of being able to help, but is there one of actually helping?

That smart dog! He’ll never get left in the truck a Walmart again!

Now they’ll take him inside like he wanted!

You give a dog a license and he thinks he can drive.

three tidbits: two and a half about dogs, the other two and and a half about cars

Thank you for saying what a lot, if not most, of us feel. But there are a large minority of idiots who only will believe propaganda and insist on making life miserable for everyone else. Loser love company.

I remember the time my dog was supposed to pick me up at the door after I was finished shopping at WalMart and he didn’t come. Turns out, he had a fender bender in the parking lot, too.

If I’m up and at ‘em early enough in byu morning.. I’ll post another funny. Several of you seemed to enjoyed the last ‘punny’ one.. AND… I think we’ve ’ beat this poor subject to the point that it makes me want to upchuck’. Let’s give it a rest for a few days and see how it all boils out…

Eek. Typos!!!

So! I think anyone can detect a current if they stick their finger in a live outlet. That dog that had a wreck was probably driving a Subaru!

Who’s ever under that sports car is going to need more than the little old lady from Bavaria ;-p

Change to suit your idea of what is/isn’t offensive? Vulgar, sexist, racist or just sophomoric idiocy? Any of it offend you? Wonder why the offensive comments here are from old men with a lot of time on their hands?

How did the dog start the truck? He must’ve had his own set of keys.
