Backyard bombs
The worst thing a woman could do is refer a child to the father at science fair time. Or at least when that father is me. I've got no problem lighting any fuse. However, after research my suggestion to put water and dry ice in a 2 litre Coke bottle, I thought maybe I just do some research. Thankfully that lucid thought brought me to the page warning that just such an act constitues a potential Class B felony. I'm sure Chip and Suzy parent would have loved for me to show bomb making tips during the Tuesday night science fair. But I was bound and determined not to move onto some experiment containing Pop Rocks and soda. So instead of putting the cap on the bottle, we put a balloon. The resulting explosion was not nearly as bad but we no longer have a chipmunk problem.
Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
You called about an overflowing toilet ma'am?
Howdy. I reckon you were the wun who dun called me on my tellyfone. These hear boots will be proteckting me from yer leaking poop and pee.

Miley Cirrus is stealing our children's brains
The daughter of that pinhead who sang "Achy Breaky Heart" is evil. She's even selling Stop signs and lead based paint adorned with her name. My youngest daughter forced me to completely redo our basement so that it looked like Ms. Montana's studio.
Mickey
Off an on we've had to deal with the occassional mouse stopping by our house. No big deal; at least nothing that a dab of peanut butter and a highly sensitive mouse trap couldn't solve. And then, they crossed the line. We woke to find a little friend knawing on the INSIDE of our fridge. This little bastard furthered his un-wecolmed arrival by soiling $40 worth of Italian meats and cheeses. Our response? Meet Mickey. Within a day our new feline friend had found the culprit, pawed him for hours, and left his dead carcass on the floor like a Christmas present. The only negative to him moving in is that Marley treats his litter box cigars as if they were Godiva chocolates. Barf.
Just like Mike!
Volunteers running thin; kids hired
Alrington County has been hurting for cash. This economy is killing everyone. In an effort to keep volunteer staffing levels high, the minimum age limit has been severely dropped.
