One of my college buddies, as a young kid, put a litter of kittens in the washing machine, they survived it just fine but they were never the same after they went through the dryer!!
Hey Pete, when Bond's book first came out, a colleague of mine and I really enjoyed it so we came up with about 30 more "USES". We sent them to him with our permission to include them in the sequel, "Another 101 Uses For A Dead Cat". We got a nice letter back thanking us but saying he was sure there would be no sequel. Evidently his publisher thought otherwise as it wasn't long before I saw at a book store the sequel. Yes, it contained our suggestions even the title. I was rather flattered.

Way back in the day there was a coworker we called uncle pill.....pill was not his real name and he was not related to any of us.
Pill had a way of recalling humorous stories that was quite out of context to whatever was going on at the time. Just out of the blue, he would start talking in a deadpan, monotonous nasally voice, some quip from days gone by.
" I was just sitting there minding my own business by the hurricane fence at the playground of ********elementary school, eating a headcheese and chow-chow sandwich when Mrs. *******accosted me. 'Pill! come with me', she said. 'There has been an awful tragedy at your home'.......So I got to the principal's office and there was mum and pop a crying. Being an only child with no living grandparents, I could not imagine the cause when mum exclaimed: 'your nana (our negro maid) has went and got a teat caught in the electric wringer washer !' "
