[Rhodes22-list] Forecast for Thursday

[Steve]

Good one, Wally:-)

One time when I was still in high school, we were coon
hunting.  Dad was testing out a dog.  The owner was
claiming that dog had a real good nose.  So we all
when out one Saturday night to test the dog.  We had
been hunting for a couple of hours and Dads' dog Sam
was doing all the work (Sam was a $3,000 dog). Finally
the test dog got on a trail and Dad had be chase down
Sam to pull him out of the race.  We wanted to see how
the test dog would do without Sam.  

So we hear the dog really start giving a continuous
barking so we know the coon is treed.  We get up there
and the coon is at up this tree that is curve over
like on about a 45 degree angle.  The test dog see us
and for some reason deside to run up that tree.  The
dog gets to the coon; the coon bite the dog; the dog
falls out of the tree and breaks it neck.  

We were glad we didn't buy that dog!!!!!!!!
