Us Against the Emu: A Story of Incredible Logic

BYU's Daily Herald published this story today about an emu that got loose on the highway. The only way to stop the emu was to use a stun gun and then, as natural logical would have it (when capturing a BIRD), handcuff it.


Oh of course! Handcuffs! Silly me, I would have put a lease around its neck and in hopes to lead it away or perhaps even a net. Tis not so. Everyone knows to capture a hand-less creature you use handcuffs. Where did they handcuff it? Around the legs? See here, those things are dang big animals.


I mean, I'm not sure if you've seen them at the zoo or anything but they've usually got a big 'ol field all to themselves. It's not like it's a canary or anything. And then what are you going to do when the bird is laying there lifeless from being stunned, handcuffed at the legs, and with no arms? Haul the thing away and hope to heck it doesn't start flapping its wings at the same time?....

Surely not.



...Let's not do anything that may anger him next time, boys.

Well, if they weren't going to use it!

A couple in Kansas climbed into a dumpster to get frisky last weekend (side note: Yuck) and were robbed of their clothes, jewelry, and wallet. The thief was found and the items returned.

Now, if you ask me, they clearly didn't care about having their clothes anyway so why not just share the wealth? Maybe the thief noticed the rambunctious 40-somethings getting down to business (IN A FREAKY DUMPSTER) and decided to make sure they didn't get to the point where they may procreate and staged a robbery to scare them and save the world of any future dumpster diving lovers. If that's really the case, he deserves an award.

Classy, Wilson

Politicians may sometimes be numbered among the same ranks as used car salesmen and lawyers, but people are generally respectful to the face of President of the United States, right? Not so for Joe Wilson- R, S.C. During Obama's address to Congress and the nation on Thursday night, Wilson reacted to Obama's health care proposals with a loud outburst of, "You lie!!" America is all for the freedom of speech, but show some class. I'm not saying I'm Obama's biggest fan (mostly I really don't agree with anything he says) but you should at least be respectful and listen to him, right? All Wilson needed to do was throw a shoe at him to make it complete.
