Years ago, I was doing some military studies on South Africa, and was
chatting with the assistant military attache. Something reminded him of a
tale, and (he was of missionary stock) eventually, he choked it out. They
had been having armored cavalry exercises, and were unaware of it being
rhinoceros mating season.
I knew rhinos weren't very bright. So did the South African Army. They
did
not, however, expect that a Saladin armored car, passing over a bull's
territorial lines, would be recognized by the bull as an exotic-looking
cow.
Orders soon went out that they were NOT to shoot the bull off, but wait
until he went away. They then could clean the armor...

Howard, I am *so* glad you're back w/us! You got the best stories.....
and, since I know lots more about garlic than botox, LOL....and are
able to assist us w/preserving it w/o doing ourselves in w/botox
(and don't even go there while you were gone (moving) about all
the meds questions.....=oP

I guess I was a strange little girl, but I never cared for horses. My
sister took riding lessons for a few years, but I was never interested. It
was always just cats and only cats for me.
Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

ROFL - all little girls don't love dolls, either. You know how some
kids have a horror thing about clowns? That's how I was about dolls
and this was *way* before the "Chuckie" movies series.
Actually, always liked horses better than dolls; I could probably have
slept good w/a horse in my bedroom.....but not a doll.

I can't see anything strange about prefering cats. :-)

I never liked dolls. I was terrified, though, of a kid-sized clown
that one of my parents' friends made for me. Stupid thing in my room
all the time. *shudder*

Thanks, Poltergeist!

LOL, when Mandy was a baby, Rob's parents sent her this toy called a
glow-worm. It had a battery operated light inside that lit up the worm
when the stuffed toy was squeezed. The moment Amanda saw it, she
freaked. We couldn't understand it at first, but one of our adoptive
military boys pointed out that it was a Nuclear Worm and that Mandy was
smart to be afraid of it. We removed the light system and stuffed old
clean nylons in it and she was happy.
