another joke.
Last night was the Last Thursday artwalk in NE Portland. We handed out two bookcrossing copies of Click and a bunch of bookmarks.
There was a little kid, maybe ten, selling jokes for a quarter. I gave him 36 cents and told him to make it good. and this is what he said:
Q:why don’t blind people go skydiving?
(wait for it…)
A:because it scares the hell out of the dog!
It was totally worth every penny. I’m not sure if it’s politically correct, so if you’re blind and were offended while reading that joke… we apologize. Blame the kid. He’s the potty mouth.
If you are blind and were able to read that joke, perhaps you might want to reconsider being blind.

On Australia’s SBS TV network, we get episodes of an Austrian
homocide squad series called (in translation) “Inspector Rex”
It’s about a GSD (a.k.a. Alsatian) police dog, called Rex, &
his work with the homicide squad/
In a recent episode, Rex & his homocide squad detective side-
kick are shown parachuting out of a small airplane over some
nice, green hilly area of Austria.
Shots of a GSD (if not Rex) dropping - tethered to a para-
chutist - were quite realistic… but the dog didn’t seem
very scared by the situation.
(Oh, we also had a police series - from USA - with a blind
detective (previously shot in the line of duty) was working
again, even equipped with a handgun, often in the company of
a GSD seeing-eye-dog; but that dog wasn’t as much the star
as Rex is in his series. Oh, and I don’t think the US series
had the blind detective jump from an airplane, with or w/out
his GSD.)
