I travel back and forth sometimes to Australia quite a bit. That’s because my wife’s Australian, and we go back home to her family. And on one of my trips, we were out driving along - and there’s this big red kangaroo – called red

It was huge! And we were driving along and she stopped the car and I opened the door and I was going to get out and play with the kangaroo and just pet it and everything else – well – she was pulling me back by the arm and I did break free of her and I went out and I started playing and petting this kangaroo suddenly this little wombat comes walking along – now he looks like a little black bear cub and he’s about this long and brown – so now I’m out there chasing this wombat and I’m trying to play with him and he turned around and he looked at me grrrrrahhhh – and he did this little snarl thing with his teeth and I’m out there just playing with him and then this koala bear’s up in this tree – and I wanted to pet him cause I figured it was just like some of our animals here you could pet and play with them so that’s what I was doing I was just walking around trying to visit with all the animals

Well this little qualla bear up in a tree – he was just eating away on them eucalyptus leaves and he was just going to town on them and I’m just standing there watching – talking to him and trying to get his attention – and the next thing I know he poops – all over me – well I go back to this big ol’ kangaroo and this kangaroo SAW it – and he just started to clean me up a little bit ‘cause I was still just wanting to play with them and pet them

The kangaroo was cleaning me up and I’ll be darned if he didn’t try to attack me – I guess it was a female qualla bear and it was a male kangaroo and they just didn’t seem to get along too well that time So to make a long story short, my wife finally got me back in the car and I had qualla bear poo all over me – stunk to high heaven – and she told me I had to ride in the trunk cause I stunk so bad in the car – so she opened the lid of the trunk and I sat in the trunk and she took me home all the way that way

And that was the end of the story

Some Saturday night on a Saturday – two Saturdays after Saturday, I went to the baseball game to buy this big loaf of bread, man – and they said they were out of bread – and man, I was so angry and I saw this gorgeous puppy ugly puppy – it was gorgeous but it was so ugly it was gorgeous and man it was gorgeous but it was ugly.

But man it had purple eyes and was all red, like, all weird. So weird.

And I went to the Chinese Restaurant, and said maybe they have a loaf of bread but they didn’t. “Hey people do you have a loaf of bread?” and it was like all Chinese crap. I was, like, “what is that?” and, like, all I heard was dog ears! I said, “ what?”, and my dog screamed. It started yelping, and then it sat down on the floor and just resisted to move. Man, that dog is so ugly, and stupid, and pitiful.

So I took the dog home, and mom goes, like, “what is that?” I said, “It’s a Chihuahua”. She goes, like, “that don’t look like no Chihuahua”. “Mom, it’s a cat.” “No, that don’t look like no cat”. My mom goes “Well where do you think that cat thing is going to sleep?” And I was thinking of putting it in the attic; and, I don’t know, like, using it as a pińata or something like that for a party.

She said “What do you think you’re going to do with that as a pińata? You going to hit it?” Well, I don’t know; I thought some candy would come out of it. “My mom said “You don’t think it ate that much candy, do you?” well – I dunno

So then I took the dog to my friend’s house. My friend said “What’s that?” I said “it’s a yellow crocodile.” “That don’t look like no yellow crocodile, it’s purple” But my friend said, “That’s not purple, that’s yellow.” What? I don’t know what color that is.

So then I said “Forget it!” I threw it in the dumpster and said “Bye”. So I went to the next door neighbor’s house, and I said - They had a surprise birthday party – it was awesome – so we went there, we ate cake and ice cream, and I guess it was a surprise –

So I said, Sir, we didn’t really get a loaf of bread, but we got a whole bunch of dog’s ears, and it was so cool and they don’t really taste good; they taste kind of like like chicken. I mean, if I want chicken, I’ll get chicken;

So I went back to the Chinese place to get some chicken. They said, “sorry, we don’t got no chicken”. They said ( it sounded like they were going to say “We like family” or something – I’m not family to them – Gosh) No way! So I got really really bored; so, I went to the park cause I thought they were going to do the baseball tryouts this year. But I guess that was last year – hmmm

So, instead of that, it was softball, but it turned out to be dodge ball; and, like, they kept hitting everybody and it was kinda mean.
And I hit somebody else – it was so cool! I went to the Chinese place, and said, “do you have any food coloring?” Cause I wanted to dye my hair with food coloring – it’d be so cool! Instead, they had these weird contact lens things; but they weren’t contact lens things. They were like salamander seeds – it was weird -yellow and purple and green and ooooh I dunno

Then I kinda got bored again and got the dog out of the dumpster; but the guy in the dumpster went and kinda died, and, cause I threw him down the toilet.
