Re: KITTYSAURUS (joke)

    "Oh what a cute Kittysaurus.  Let me pet your head.  Oh don't run away, 
I won't hurt you---- you are such a cute kitty, kitty.  Here, take a bite of 
my hamburger."
     Kittysaurus cautiously sniffs her hand and the half-eaten hamburger.  
Then loudly snarling like a junkyard dog, kittysaurus chomps down hard and 
leaves woman with a stunned look and one less hand.
     Which proves the old adage:  You can bite off the hand that feeds you, 
but only if you have the serrated teeth to get the job done.
     Also gives a whole new meaning to the phrase:  finger sandwiches.
