Earth is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures. Here are three from the Bat Family–without the need for resorting to fiction.
Sucker-footed Bat
Red-Winged Fruit Bat
Left-Winged Ding Bat–incapable of many things, including flying, it sucks the blood out of US taxpayers.
I think the alligators put up the sign.
Outside England’s Bristol Zoo is a parking
lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were 1 pound sterling for cars, 5 for buses.
One day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he didn’t show up, so the zoo management called the city council and asked it to send them another parking agent.
The council researched, then replied that the parking lot was the zoo’s own responsibility. The zoo advised the council that the attendant was a city employee. The council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the city payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on
the coast of Spain (or some such scenario), is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own, then simply begun to show up every day, collect and keep parking fees, estimated at about $560 per
day–for 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million!
……
And no one even knows his name.
You are! Please note below the Wise Oracles…

Warning: new scam. Police say this gang usually has four members–one adult and three minors. The three kids, looking sweet and innocent, distract the victim while the adult from the back expertly rifles his/her pockets/purses/bags.
You have been warned.

Senior Health Care Solution
You’re a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, so what do you do?
Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You’re allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, this means you’ll be sent to prison where you’ll get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth? No problem. Need glasses? Great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered.
And who will pay for all this? The same government that just told you that you’re too old for health care. Plus, because you’re a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore.
IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?!
Note: Don’t descend to dudgeon. I know the health plan doesn’t practice euthanasia. The above was humor.
Eating a snack makes me feel guilty because wonder how many gallons of trans facts I consume over years.
I can’t touch any woman’s purse for fear she previously placed it on the floor of a public bathroom.
Thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now must use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
ALSO, for the same reason, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,234,567,890th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL will send me for participating in their special e-mail program.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 9,876,543,210 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa’s Novena granted my every wish.
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers..
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer can buy petrol or diesel without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Fanta since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put ‘Under God’on their cans.
I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can’t boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face.. Disfiguring me for life.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore, and Uzbekistan
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Woolies since I now have their recipe.
THANKS TO YOU I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big black spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my nether regions.
AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can’t ever pick up $2 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
I can no longer drive my car because I can’t buy petrol from certain fuel companies!
I can’t do any gardening because I’m afraid I’ll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. Tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbors’ ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician . . .
Oh, by the way…..
A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse..
Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late.
PS: I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because water splashes over 6 ft. out of the commode.
