Once Again, A Search For Cats≪ On Internet Proves Revealing

OK, where were we?

Oh, yeah. Well-traveled stuffed animals.

Um, how about if we get to that later. Let’s move on.

Her first time on the Internet: Cheney’s Melissa Sisich was looking for sites dealing with Maine coon cats when she clicked and found herself staring at a picture of a tremendously large naked woman.

The woman in question, a San Francisco resident, apparently breeds Maine coons. But Sisich said there were no cats in the picture. Just lots and lots of skin.

Norma Eveland and Judy Bumbarger of Curlew describe the way skateboards used to be: “Our ‘60s skateboards consisted of a piece of plywood attached to a roller skate, held crudely and precariously together with bent nails.”

An all-new prize offering: We heard about a guy named Jim who was buying a lottery ticket in a North Idaho convenience store when the woman behind the counter asked, “Do you want cash or a nudie?”

He responded like anyone would. “What?”

“Do you want cash or a nudie?” the clerk repeated.

Eventually Jim figured out that he was being asked if, in the event he won, he wanted a lump-sum payout or an annuity.

Taking Holy Week in stride: At a South Hill church service Sunday, a little girl was asked for the name of the week that begins with Palm Sunday. “Next week,” she said.

Read all about it: A friend said his favorite sign at the recent Big Horn Sports and Recreation Show said: “Blowguns — Next to beer garden.”

A reader named Sarah wonders: “When did people stop covering their mouths when they yawn?”

Two choices: A young girl at Kristy Bennett’s Newman Lake daycare said her parents had a beautiful honeymoon in Hawaii. Then she thought about it for a moment. “At least I think it was Hawaii,” she added. “Maybe it was Omak.”

Nominations sought: We want to salute someone special on Secretaries Day, which is coming up in a few weeks. So if you know of a secretary or administrative assistant who deserves recognition, please tell us about that person.

A brief note will suffice. Thanks.
