The joke we use in our house (a lot) is that if you plant bird seed, you should get a crop of baby birds.

Since this thread is for laughs, please excuse this off-topic post.

Lolol..Good one...OK

Yesterday when I went into my cellar to get a couple gallons of water out of my 30 gallon containers, I never turned the light on..It was very dim down there. i could see the barrells but not the inside of them. In there it was dark of water.

There I was filling the jugs the whole time saying to myself.."Boy does this water stink, it never smells like this"...Well to my suprise, when I almost got to the bottom of the barrell, there to my suprise was a HUGE dead rat rubbing up against my hand, that must of got in there from an open window, probably tried to grab a drink!!

I screamed so stinking loud, that as my mother was coming to run to the stairs to see if I was ok, I jump back so fast, that I knocked the entire shelf of my hybernating clivias down, along with all my bird seed bags!!

What a mess, and a scare..My mother was laughing her head off, but not after I gave her the job of ridding of that dead creature...Kidding, that was my job too..:-(
