Vampire Bat. A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in. "OK, follow me" he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him. "Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked. "Yes, Yes, Yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy. "Good" said the bat, "Because I sure as hell didn't!"

Much like the driver in the inside turn lane didn't see me in the outside turn lane yesterday. Fortunately, because I know that drivers continually ignore the fact that they should remain in their lane on intersections with double turn lanes, I was watching that particular bat. In this case, the tree moved. :) Marc

Love it! My husband actually does this vampire bat thing with his hands and acts like it's attacking my neck. not sure why he thinks it's funny if you are older than 5.

I like that. I've started taking notes of all the funny stories and jokes here into this blog[^] if anyone's interested.

Ah, you're one up on me, I just have lots of .txt files. Did you get the ones from the Soapbox about Air Traffic Control and the Americans with the Lighthouse?
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

Ooh, I'll have to finish reading those later. Some of those are funny. I have a book called, "You are an Idiot" that is full of stories of dumb people, computer glitches, etc.

I've seen a few about ATC and the classic about the US Warship and the Canadian lighthouse but I've not seen any since starting the blog. I also like the new tagging facility in blogger. At some point in the future I can say, I want a geeky joke and I can just click the tag. It will be useful for when I do the Entertaining Speaker speaches at my Toastmasters club.

It's come up on conversation before and at least three otherwise intelligent people I know argued with me that it isn't a law at all and there's nothing wrong with it. I wonder how widespread that attitude is.
