Humorous Stories - Model
Exposed in Explosive Scandal
"Wendy",
a professional model quite well-known in the field,
was strutting down the red-carpeted runway at Saturday's
Annual Modeling Exhibition when a loud honk echoed over
the loud speaker.
The honk was followed by a gush of
wind that rushed over the audience and much of the crowd
described Wendy's skirt splitting, then ballooning from
her leg.

Feather - The Funniest Stories on the Planet
Political
Ponderings - Why the Donkey & the Elephant?
How
the Donkey & the Elephant became unofficial political
symbols of the Republican & Democrat parties.
The unofficial
symbolic Democratic Donkey and Republican Elephant are
rather odd choices for political symbols - but what
does one do when the eagle has already been taken by
a nation?
First off,
obviously no one told the historic Republican party,
"Guys. Look. There are NO elephants
in America. Except.....at the er...zoo."
On the other
hand, who wants to be a jack ass?
Andrew Jackson
did and it's to his credit that the donkey became the
fixed Democrat party symbol. Being cited by many
as a jack ass, 'Jack'son used the tag to his advantage,
the political gimmick quickly catching on after cartoonist
Thomas Nast's cartoon rendering in Harper's
Weekly Magazine around 1870.
But the
er...buck didn't stop there. Nast hit a home run
once more in Harper's Weekly Magazine four years
later when he drew a donkey cloaked in the skin of a
lion that was frightening away all of the other animals
standing about, except an elephant which held the caption,
"The Republican Vote".
Obviously, Nast was
a Democrat....
As the elephant
and the donkey have not yet become official symbols
of the Democrat and Republican parties, might we kick
about the following choices that we pulled from an old
trunk?
Why the
Snake may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant
- The snake is sly, slithery, likes to crawl on its
belly and doesn't beat around the bush.
Why the
Fox may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant
- The fox is also sly, cunning and a little lazy, especially
in the heat.
Why the
Crocodile may be a better choice than the Donkey or
Elephant
- The crocodile is capable of shedding tears, and has
a tough hide which is worth a bundle.
Why the
Chameleon may be a better choice than the Donkey or
Elephant
- The chameleon is capable of changing colors and spends
most of its time buried in the soil.
Why the
Monkey may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant
- A monkey is smart enough to punch out a chad.
Why the
chicken may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant
- A chicken knows how to cackle, lay rotten eggs, crow
and strut. Oh. And they know how to be a
chicken, too.
Hopefully,
one day, one party will adopt the dove as their party
symbol.

Humor - Gualded -
by Reporter Luke the Duke at Tickle Feather
As a cowboy in a former life, I
reckon that I know all there is to know about gualdation

suffered from being gualded, or even if you plan to
in the future, Tickle Feather's got some red hot tips
that just might prevent a bad case of guald. Click
