Each evening bird lover Tom stood in his backyard, hooting like an owl - and one night, an owl finally called back to him. For a year, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth. He even kept a log of the 'conversation'.
Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in interspecies communication, his wife had a chat with a neighbor. "My husband spends his nights ... calling out to owls," she said.
"That's odd," the neighbor replied. "So does my husband!"
*************************************************
A mother and her young son were flying
Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago .
The little boy, who had been looking out the window,
turned to his mother and asked,
'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats,
why don't big planes have baby planes?'
The mother, who couldn't think of an answer,
told her son to ask the flight attendant.
So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant,
'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats,
why don't big planes have baby planes?'
The busy flight attendant smiled and said,
'Did your mother tell you to ask me?'
The boy said, 'Yes, she did.'
'Well then, you go and tell your mother that there are no
baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time.
ask her to explain that to you.'
