I had a friend that while eating at a restaurant he had a heart attack and fell over out of his chair. At the table next to him were two heart surgeons that immediately started to work on him. They said he was dead before he hit the floor and there was nothing they could do. He was 26 years old and had just bought a new house on had a two month old son. I had another friend that was playing golf in the Member-Guest tournament. In the group he was playing were three heart specialist. While walking up to the fourth tee box he said “boys, I feel so bad I could die”. In about 30 seconds he had a heart attack and died there on the tee box. Sometimes there is nothing anyone can do when it is your turn.
She’s been topped – a few years ago an old woman was choking in the cafeteria of a rest home. Luckily for her, there was a doctor at the next table. A Doctor Heimlich…..
Roly-polies were one of the delights of my childhood. My siblings and I were fascinated by how we could get them to roll up. Mom made the rule that we couldn’t play with them so long that they were tired – had to let them be after a couple of roll-ups. I was thrilled to see a few this year in my flower planter, but I think the praying mantis may have eaten them. (With or without drawn butter, lol).

Florothy Detcher One time I had a heart attack on a plane, and 16 people stood up when a flight attendant asked if there was a doctor on board.
Poly Rolies And they shoot bears.
There’s a long history of ghost story telling at Christmas which may have started before it became a holiday.

Does that mean when a tiger grooms itself, it’s taking off hair and flesh also?

yet bugs (or insects for that matter) and crustaceans are both arthropods

Domestic cats have similar tongues as tigers for the same purpose.

Unfortunately Dorthy later received 15 bills for the emergency medical care, as none of the doctors were approved by her HMO insurance

Re tiger’s tongue, perhaps that is the reason why it is so rough, ,,,Ya think?

House cats have a similar arrangement on their tongues, for the same reason.

So the lesson is, don’t let a tiger lick you? Okay.

I wonder if a pill bug, when steamed and served with melted butter, will taste like a lobster.

My Ex’s tongue was so sharp she could make people pray.
Dorothy survived to get a bill from one heart specialist and 14 consultants that her health care carrier rejected because none were in her PPO.
Pill bugs in drawn butter just doesn’t cut it.

Big deal. ALL cats tongues are like that. Including our dear little tabby. Don’t believe me? Rub some good stuff on the back of our hand.

And Dorothy got 15 bills.

Dorothy survived…until she got the bill from 15 doctiors.

I recall reading once upon a time some scientists decided rolly pollies were not insects (bugs), but were another leftover from ancient times.

Hmmm- Are pill bugs good with a lemon butter sauce?

Our passenger train struck a car at a crossing. There was a P.A. plus three EMTs aboard and were attending the driver as soon as the train stopped.

I must have a Tiger’s tongue (incidentally, my high school mascot!): I can strip the meat off of well cooke ribs with it!

As a kid, we always called those bugs, “doodle bugs”. I know…it was wrong.
