Beware of Cats Bearing Fangs


(New York Daily News) A Bronx couple who ran an animal shelter have been hit with a $2 million lawsuit by a woman who claims she was given a "crazed" hellcat that viciously attacked her.

Retired waitress Barbara Pinchbeck, 70, says she wanted to adopt a friendly feline, but Jamie and Alan Turell brought her a black cat with a bad attitude named Wheezer.

The feisty furball went berserk on its first night in Pinchbeck's Putnam County home, leaving her with serious injuries, court papers say.

"It was snarling, hissing and bearing its fangs," Pinchbeck told the the Daily News at her home in Mahopac, N.Y. "It leaped 6 feet in the air and landed on my hand. It bit through my two
fingers."

It's unnecessary to point out that the cat was bearing its fangs. Cats always carry their fangs with them.

Thanksgiving Hymn

Spare the turkey
Hold the ham
Skip the duck
And leg of lamb
Thursday night
Before I eat
I'll give thanks
I don't eat meat

The Windbags of My Mind

Like a circle in an oval
Like a rhombus in a square
It's a geometric lyric
And it's going God knows where
It is somewhat asymmetric
In a most peculiar way
And it stumbles and it bumbles

Without having much to say
The contraption keeps revolving

Till at last the gears fall out
And we're left to wonder

What the hell the song was all about
