A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
“Oh my,” said the writer. “Let me see heaven now.”
A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
“Wait a minute,” said the writer. “This is just as bad as hell!”
“Oh no, it’s not,” replied an unseen voice. “Here, your work gets published.”

This seems apropos since so many people imbibe on New Year’s Eve:
Liquor Board Employee Fired!
A new employee of the Grant Park liquor store in Winnipeg , Manitoba , was fired immediately
after serving his first customer.
A Mr. Germander Mohammad Singh came in and asked the clerk if he could recommend a good port.
The employee replied, “Try Halifax ..”

That last picture, it works for both dogs and cats. The funniest one is Max, our big (and fat) guy, who will stick his head underneath part of an old cat tree to hide. So … that’s 1.5 pounds hidden, and 18.5 out in plain view. Yeah. You’re TOTALLY hidden…. 😉
Happy New Year!
