Subject: Washing the cat...

 
Here's a great way to clean the kitty:

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him to the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside, where he will dry himself.

Sincerely,
The Dog

For our new subdivision application, I couldn't resist submitting this picture to show

that I have been in the house building business over forty years.

Here's the first one I ever built, with help from my four siblings.

What a pleasure to see it at mom and dad's this week, and make a scan of it here.

That's me at 9 in the white shirt. Lou is at the door.

We had a great time at our college reunion this weekend.

There was a great dinner dance.

 

Here's Jim in his The Way We Were tee shirt

Rich and he are shown at the ribbon cutting ceremony

for the room renovation our class paid for.

Part of this new room was my dorm room for two years.

 

Jim and I use a caddy when we play golf together once a year

at his country club in Westchester.

 

Here's what the caddy usually says to me about my game,

Pete "Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."

 Caddy "Think you can keep your head down that long?"

 

 Pete "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this  course."

Caddy "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

 

Pete "Do you think my game is improving?"

 Caddy "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now."

 

Pete "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"

Caddy "Eventually."

 

 Pete "You've got to be the worst caddy in the  world."

 Caddy "I don't think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence."

 

Pete "Please stop checking your watch all the time.

  It's too much of a distraction."

 Caddy "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

 

Pete "How do you like my game?"

Caddy "Very good sir, but personally, I prefer golf."

 

Pete "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?"

Caddy "The way you play, sir, it's a sin on any day."

 

Pete "This is the worst course I've ever played on."

 Caddy "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago."

 Pete "That can't be my ball, it's too old."

 Caddy "It's been a long time since we teed off, sir."

 

Of course in reality, I'm much better than that.

In fact, the last time I played golf I just missed a hole in one.

Yes, I only missed it by three
