Better or worse than a sack and a river?

Guy: Yeah, my buddy's cat is dying, it has flesh-eating disease or something. And his dad told him to just hit it over the head with a shovel, but he couldn't do it.

Just donate the cat to orient express. They'll know what to do with it!

"Having a flesh-eating disease" sounds like a pejorative way for vegetarians to refer to people who enjoy a Big Kahuna Burger (mmmm...tasty!) from time to time.

Also, I can endorse the shovel as a reliable means for dispatching unwanted family members to the great beyond. Gramps never saw it coming, may he continue to rest in a flat, pancaked piece...

The dad is an asshat for suggesting a shovel as a form of euthanasia. He should be slowly beheaded with a dull knife.

Or you could tie a piece of buttered bread to its back (butter side up), toss it off a building, and see which cliche is more true - that a cat always lands on its feet or that buttered bread always lands butter side down. :)

my grandma prefers the method of a 2x4 straight to the kidneys. She no longer has stray cats wandering in her yard.

Brilliantly unoriginal!

And in case anybody was wondering why toast always (at least 95% of the time) lands butter side down, it's simple physics. Humans are too short and the height of our countertops condemn us to a life of watching butter meet linoleum.

10:25 reminds me of my first-year stats textbook that graphed a statistical correspondence between the number of stray cats in a neigbourhood decreasing while the number of chinese-food restaurants was increasing.

gotta go... got a lunch-date at Fu Lam Kitty :)

I doubt there was a stats book like that, I think people might be incredibly offended by that example. lol

I can tell from 2:14's comment that he's much more sympathetic. What a douche.
