Four old friends went golfing one day. Three of them headed to the first tee while the fourth went into the clubhouse to take care of the bill. The three men were talking and started bragging about their sons.
The first man told the others, “My son is a home builder, and he is so successful that he gave a friend a new home for free. Just gave it to him!”
The second man said, “My son was a car salesman, and now he owns a several dealerships. He’s so successful that he gave one of his friends a new Mercedes, fully loaded”.
The third man, not wanting to be outdone, bragged, “My son is a stockbroker, and he’s doing so well that he gave his friend an entire stock portfolio”.
The fourth man came back and joined them on the tee. One of the others turned to him and mentioned, “We were just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?”
The fourth man replied, “Well, my son is a gay prostitute.” The other three men grew silent as he continued, “I’m not totally thrilled about it, but he must be doing well. His last three clients gave him a house, a brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio”.

Murphy's Moment
As mentioned a few weeks ago, I lost my beloved orange tabby, Alex, on June 19, 2025. While he had an amazing 16 year run, his passing came much sooner than it should have. I still miss him dearly.
Fortunately cats are pretty easy to come by. All you need is Craigslist and a little patience. After watching religiously for about 7 weeks, anyone could find the exact cat they were looking for... and that's how I got Murphy! Come to think of it, that's kinda how I got Alex as well.
Murphy was born on June 22, 2025. This tasty little hash brown was listed Tuesday night. I texted the number the next morning and went right round to go see him that afternoon. He was perfect, so I paid the $10 "rehoming" fee and took him to be my newest, bestest buddy.
Ten bucks probably sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Well... Yesterday he had his first vet appointment, and the bill wasn't cheap. I already knew he had ear mites because he had been scratching at his ears, so I swabbed them and looked at it under an old microscope of mine. Let's just say they threw in the ear mite cleaning FOR FREE because they were already able to cover a yacht payment with everything else they charged me for!
His follow up booster shot is in 3 weeks. Cha-ching! smh.
As of this Sunday, I've had him a total of about 4 days, and so far he's cost me well over $500! At least he's comfortable and feels right at home. While he can't jump up on the bed yet, his needle like claws allow him to climb up the side of the mattress like Spider-cat, and then he likes to snuggle up with me an Gail... Which kinda worries me, cuz him being so small and all, he's liable to get flattened!
To recap: I got another cat. He's orange, he's smol, and he's a little spitfire. That's about all I have to say on the subject at the moment, but I'm sure there will be more photo ops along the way.
