Alas, fox-hunting is now banned here. [sniff] Still, there are more chicks around thanks to that.zoobyshoe said:

Many chicks are foxes, and that is why zoobies volunteer to guard the hen house.El Hombre Invisible said:

Daniel Webster once said:
"Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but in the mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men."
I haven't been there sense his nose kinda fell off

Actually, he said it twice. Just no-one was listening the first time. Anyway, reminds me of a fertility clinic I once saw... Hung out a huuuuge baby. Didn't work cos everyone thought it was Buddha. They spent so long throwing out dancing, singing men in orange tunics that they couldn't run the service. Eventually they just turned it into a temple. Don't know what they did with the sperm bank.hypatia said:

Now I know what you're talkin' about.hypatia said:I haven't been there sense his nose kinda fell off
It was his chin, fell off, not his nose. A relative sent me a newpaper clipping with a picher. I understand his chin had been coming loose for several decades and was being held on with steel cables. Some sort of big storm was the final straw.
