Why some people have walking sticks as pets

Esther is a bit tired of her talkative parrot Abraham

If you would have a new pet what would it be and what would you call it?


ESTHER:  A new pet? What a lovely idea. Then maybe you can take care of Abraham? Abraham is my talkative and loud parrot. If you do that , then I will buy myself a stick insect, a walking stick as a pet. Or maybe two. And they may be called anything - as long as they don't talk!

How to get up early in the mornings

Emily dressed for job

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?


EMILY: I am very tired in the mornings so therefore I have a good trick to get started. I'm leaving right out of bed on a jog.

One problem: When you're so tired, there are no guarantees of normal behavior. Two times I have forgotten to dress into jogging suit and have been running dressed in my nightgown. On the other hand it has been a very popular event for people in the morning rush.

Coffee tastes good when it's raining

Apparently he has not yet drunk that coffee. Five years later he is still here in my appartment, sipping on the coffee!

A scaring marriage

You are a couple. How did you meet?


ELLEN: Freddy is my brother's friend and he was terribly afraid of dogs. He was epecially afraid of my brother's dog Pluto.

One day two years ago, Pluto scared Freddy who then escaped by locking himself into the bathroom. There he sat five hours later when I got home to my brother. Freddy was crying with fear.

Freddy and Pluto are now friends. Freddy and I are married.

How donut sniffing dogs can help you from obesity problems

Marion training her dog Fido

Are you planning to start a diet?


MARION:  I am on a very special diet.
I love donuts and I think if could just stop eating them my obesity problems would be over. I'm training my dog to help me quit the donuts. Just like the drug police and customs have dogs that help them find drugs, I am now training Fido to find my donuts. And when he has found the donuts, he eats them which results in no donuts left for me! It's brilliant!

We've been training for two months now and Fido is making some progress, but still I find the donuts before him. Yummy!

A weekend with Jessica outperforms everything

Jessica's weekends are just something

What makes you really angry?


JESSICA: When my boyfriend calls and says that this weekend he has to work. Then I become holy pissed and ends the relationship immediately.
If a guy gets the idea that there is something that surpasses a weekend with me, then something is wrong.

To hell with him.

Special diets can give you nightmares

Bea still feels like a rabbit

What is your most common dream?

BEA:  Every morning just before I wake up, I dream that I am a little rabbit that sits out on a field and eat vegetables. Suddenly comes a fox who catches me in his jaws, carry me home to his den where he barbecues me over an open fire.

I think I got this dream when I started my vegetable diet.
