No offense to the person that came up with the "Book Tag," but that makes for a pretty lame blog entry. The book that was actually closer to Marjean when she wrote the post below was the phone book, which happens to be the only book that could possibly have a more boring sentence than the sentences I've seen quoted in these book tag entries. (Page 123, line 5 of the Salem phonebook: Hertz Equipment Rental 3640 Cherry Ave NE .............................KZR 97303 503 390-1945) To make it a little more fun and interesting, how about going to the book shelf and choosing the strangest book there and then finding a sentence that is funny or applicable in some way instead of a random boring sentence.
So, looking at our bookshelf, the clear winner for strangest book is "Rabbits for Dummies" written by Audrey Pavia, the acclaimed writer of "Horses for Dummies," the first book I would buy if I spent thousands on a flippin' horse. I'm gonna go with sentence 4 from page 126: "Rabbits develop a form of syphilis caused by a bacteria, but it's not the same disease as seen in humans." Well thank goodness its not the same, because Cooper, our cute little French Lop, just happens to have rabbit syphilis. (Insert obvious French joke here.) I'm sure he has a good excuse; he was young and naive, found some catnip, peer pressure, just did what rabbits do, etc.; and getting him fixed was probably punishment enough for any youthful sins, so we try not to hold it against him now.
So, now I am going to tag Juan, Pablo, Jorge and, uh, Ringo; and anyone else who wants to.
P.S. No one tell Marjean that everyone dies at the end of Hunchback, she seems to have high hopes for a happy ending.

That's hilarious! I'm absolutely certain that Josh will have something to say about French people and syphillis (or however you spell that.)
The only experience I have in that area is being told by my doctor at a recent pregnancy exam that my tests had come back, and "good news! You don't have AIDS... Or Syphillis." Good thing our doctor is usually pretty funny, or I'd be nervous he'd think that was actually a concern!
Let's here it for Fred, the Dorf Dorfman. You know, it takes a strong man to admit where he got syphilis. But he's doing great, the nose looks normal again... As for the French, all I can say is - Putain!
