Maybe it's just I'm into linguistic jokes e.g.: falling down (unless you're in zero-g that's pretty much the only direction possible), or domestic animals (as a book once asked, if cats are domestic, why is it they never wash windows?). For that matter it's funny to me when medical types refer to what is somewhere from about 6-9 out of ten on the pain scale as a little discomfort.  If they actually admit it's going to hurt, be afraid, be very afraid.
Now for some cat related tag lines.
There is no snooze button on a hungry cat at six am.
Cats are always on the wrong side of the door.
Just like you, your cat feels like climbing the wall sometimes, the difference is that it can.
Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back. One cat leads to another--Ernest Hemingway.
Writing is very easy. All you do is sit in front of a typewriter (or computer)keyboard and wait until little drops of blood appear on your forehead."

The length of a minute varies depending on which side of the bathroom door you're standing.

Clausewitz classified staff officers according to the danger they posed to their own forces--the most dangerous was: Stupid, but active.

Hey Mergs,
Don't worry about being grim. Your statement is very true and extremely ppertinent. I know several military types who abhor the term friendly fire. They think it cheapens the tragedy, and sounds too much like newspeak (or doublethink). In truth I'm a bit of a cynic and when I hear that term I think "itchy trigger finger".

Gav,
Thanks. Nice to know some folks out there understand some of these things. Here's another one:
The easy way is always mined.
Cat,
Dogs have owners, cats have staff
If you want to sit in the most comfortable seat in the house, move the cat.
Loch,
I know that guy! He used to be one of my LT/CPT/MAJs!
"Don't confuse activity with accomplishment"
"His men would only follow him out of idle curiosity"
"This officer is depriving some village of an idiot"
"He has failed to live up to the low standards he has set for himself" (actually use this on a LT's evaluation form!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

yes sam, for sewing. for sewing new clothes. anyway, sam, i'm thinking of trying to figure out a way in which we can return to the blissful state of romanticism in fencing and get away from the techo-popism that has led us into a very real conflict. what do you say? how can we do this?
