So...why did your wife have the dog's leash to hit you awake with, if you gave him away that night (Oh, did you give him away that night? You're not quite CLEAR about that)?

Kind of puts it in perspective, huh?

I keep thinking about how the media is feeding this hysteria, and it's pissing me off.

I was raised to believe that one doesn't shout "Fire!!" in a crowded theater unless it is actually in flames. Am I the only one who still believes this??

I know it's nasty. I know it can kill people. So can ordinary flu...and, as that chart shows, so can any number of other illnesses that don't receive anywhere near the attention. Gracious, according to those numbers only Leprosy has fewer deaths than Swine Flu!

The word I got was that regular old influenza kills 30-50K Americans per year. Swine flu has killed about a thousand Americans so far this year.

Wake me when people start dropping like flies.

PS: Don't listen to the haters. I'm pulling for you guys, Chris. In the words of the great Charles DeMar (in Better Off Dead): "Buck up little camper, we'll beat that slope together!"

Oh, Jim, you CSI people are too much. We didn't give away his kennel or his dish or any of the other stuff, either. The guy has a farm with five dogs and IT'S A FARM. The last thing he needed was a leash, for pete's sakes.
