My fav is the little wiener dog make espresso as the sun is coming up "what little hyper dogs do while their masters sleep".

OMG, Mike, that's my favorite one too!  My dad ripped that page out of his day-by-day calendar one year and sent it to me in college.  I've kept it on my fridge ever since!  I would love to find or make a coffee mug out of that picture!

I also love the cows.  When I was about 11 and we first started going up to our cottage at the lake, my dad would joke about the cows that we would drive by, saying that we just missed them standing up talking to one another.  That year, my dad framed that cartoon for my stepmom and gave it to her for her birthday.  To this day, it hangs in their house.  And for my dad's birthday that year, we got him a coffee mug with "The Nerd Herd" on it: four nerdy looking cows named "Barbi-Q, Ground Chuck, All-Beef Patty....oooh, I can't remember the last one!  LOL!

AT least you did not end up with an ATTACK mattress.  When I visited Merion, the bed has a really really hard mattress and so I brought along a air mattress I had gotten on close out at Target.  As we were putting in on the bed, I kept saying, I don't think this is going to work.  IT was a high bed to start with, and it was almost impossible to climb onto it. Also being an air mattress, it was shall we say not very stable!!!   She said it was on, it was late and it was staying on there.  Me like a dummy did not argue!!

I told merion if she heard a scream or a crash she better come help me.  Well she left for the dog show before I did because she had to do some stuff for the show.  Shortly after she left, I tried to shift my weight, and the next thing I knew i was ON THE FLOOR(which was a teeny aisle between the dresser and bed). Actually the mattress was more or less on top of me(sure was thankful it was an air one, or I woulda been stuck there for hours.  There was so little room I litterally had to inchworm myself down the length of the bed to the bottom of the frame, where thankfully there was enough room to at least get off my side!

Due to the arthritis in my one leg, kneeling is not possible, and I am not quite sure How I managed to drag myself up.  Sadly by the time I got to the show Zena had already been in the ring.  For some reason I was not walking too well(the foot that slammed into the one dresser sorta hurt, along with shoulder, hips, etc. ).

Although I use an air mattress on my regular bed, have had NO temptation to use that same mattress just in case it is somehow jinxed. 

Bottom line, when you try to fix a bed, and add a mattress on top of another one, you may get something you are not expecting!!

I have always been more of a listener then a gabber.  So I start reading the thread and my chuckles turned into guffaws.
Karen and Mike aka "Dean and Jerry"
I roared when I read your 'heels in the fan' bit so much that I startled McGuinn who awoke and rolled over on the sofa and promptly knocked over my ice tea and McGwire was on the floor under my tray table, he got drenched, did the wet doggy shake and decided to bark to beat the band.  McGuinn now wide awake began lapping up the tea off the leather sofa.  I am scrambling to get up, clean up, put my notebook puter somewhere dry, tilted the tray table so the rest of the tea poured on the front of my jeans.  The doorbell rings. (a neighbor) and I look like a man who forgot his depends.  Except I didn't realize it until I watched the neighbor's eyes look at my crotch.  The dogs are barking, tea is staining and he is asking if I would be interested in another dog!
Some comedic warning might help next time!

Well, doxiedoo dad (or is it doxiedood ad?), your shtick had me envisioning an I love Lucy episode.  We should take our collective show on the road.   And now folks, please welcome the crazy people who obey wienerdogs (cue the applause please)...

Mike,
I use doodad and thingamajig to shake things up a bit at work.  Engineers take their tech jargon a little too seriously.  And since I am the boss, I can get a way with it.  It's a real ice breaker in serious non presentation meetings.  Everyone laughs.  Before I joined this group, I thought I was the only one who sat at my drafting table thinking "I wonder what my boys are doing?"  Yeah, I got the doxie fever.

I ended up staying home today after a long night with a migraine/sinus headache. This last laugh was just what I needed. Doxiedoodad, I hope you decided to gab more often. We can use more of your humor. We have quite a few that are willing to provide comic relief-Leslie does a good job without trying, too-but, as they always say, "The more the merrier!".
