New Year weight loss plans ???

The dog dead-centered the pole at a dead run, and went down in a heap,
twitching. I continued my sprint up the hill, laughing at the dog's
owner now running down the hill to see how much damage his dog had
done to itself.

Some days you're the bug, other days you're the windshield...

LOL!!! I haven't laughed so loud at something on the internet in a LONG
time. Thanks!

I'll have to keep the barking trick in mind. It does seem like it should
work, and I also have a pretty good bark; guaranteed to make any dog stop
and look where the dog is!

It really messes with them. As a young lad we had a neighbor with an
incessantly barking dog. Frustrated, I walked up to it with a bullhorn and
barked back. It gave me a quite confused look and walked away, never to
needlessly bark again.

I went over the bars and managed to tuck and roll, and actually did a
handspring out, landing on my feet (and not a soul around to see it).
Fortunately my guardian angle was apparently on duty that day and I
only got a little biffed up. Slightly scraped, but wiser.


The first time it happened to me, I tended to stay attached to the bike...
Pretty good trick, come to think of it, since I didn't have toe clips on
that bike... I ended up inverted with the bike upside down... I guess I had
a death grip on the brake and the bike stayed with me... The dog decided to
make a loop or to around me and wrap me with the leash... He then had the
nerve to stop and look at me as to ask why I was laying on the concrete /
asphalt of the bike trail... Didn't have a helmet, of course, so I'm curious
how I managed to do it without getting the least scratch on my head... It's
not like I have a lot of hair up there protecting it...

From some of your past posts, it sounds like you may not need a helmet!

Yes, that is a good one. I've even seen a cartoon with a bug splattered
on a windshield that is funny.

Another one I heard that is in the same vein is...

"Some days you are the dog and some days you are the hydrant."

Question: What is the last thing to go through a bug's mind, as he is
hitting the windshield?

Answer: His butt-hole!

I know, go to your room, Jim! g

It's a size thing. The smaller the bug, the less anyone cares.

Just check out all the protections heaped upon King Crabs -- one of the
largest sea bugs.

Size matters...
