From My Journal - - More Observations On The News

     If you wanted a Wallaby where would you go to find one? I can hear you answering "Australia." And that answer would be correct. But you would not have to go that far, if you live in the U.S.

    You could just go to Washington State, up around Seattle to be exact. There a Wallaby got loose while being transported to an exotic animal petting zoo.

    Most wallabies are used to a hot, dry climate, so I’m guessing this wallaby is wondering what she’s got herself into. Instead of hot and dry, she now finds herself in cold and wet, but there is plenty to eat, in fact, there is food on every hand. We’ll see if the food, or the comforts of the petting zoo win out.

    But she will be found soon. An animal psychic has come forward saying she can feel the heartbeat of this runaway.

    So if having a Wallaby is on your bucket list, and you can’t afford to go to Australia, you’d better get yourself up to Seattle soon.

Another One

     In Norway, a young man agreed to kill another young man for the sum of 40,000 crowns. Police caught up with him and charged him with only fraud, because they didn’t think he had any intention of actually doing the killing.

    They fined the would-be killer 10,000 crowns, and then sent him on his way. So right away we can see that this guy made a 30,000 crown profit on this deal for doing nothing at all. Not a bad day’s work.

    Police nabbed the fellow who hired him and he’s been sentenced to two years in jail, most of which was suspended because he confessed. And the reason for hiring the killer?

The would-be victim had not returned his romantic interests.

    Lesson; a person in Norway could make a pretty good living by accepting contracts to kill people, with no intention of ever actually doing the nasty deed.
