Judge Judy again

Tom Keats wrote:

According to some native North American folklore, cougars
contain the spirits of former humans who were not very
nice people, and being reincarnated as a cougar is a
damnation for having been a miserable, miserly, judgmental,
crusty ol' SOB in human life. In Chinook Jargon cougars are
referred-to as "hyas puss-puss." That means "big pussy."

Cougars like to jump their victims from above and behind, so
you probably wouldn't get a chance to ring your bell anyway.

This makes me wonder about that cougar who wandered down through
Wisconsin and was finally shot in downtown Chicago. Was this some
old Chicago politician come back to settle some scores?

You obviously don't ride where Carl F. rides.


My bell repells pigs. The "no-bell prize" is a $75 fine,
Skunks don't like it either.

My bell repels flying pigs. I've never had a problem with them in all
the years I've been riding...

That's why I wear a deflector beanie. . . just in case.
I know it wards off bears, city pigs and zealots.

So checking my mirror as much as I do is probably useless unless I
angle it just so, or get a second 'mountain-lions' only mirror and set
it for up and behind...

draw BIG EYES on the back of your jersey. It throws them off.

In parts of India, the last man in a line of honey gatherers or
woodsmen wears a backward facing mask to fool the tigers.

They could have him dress in a clown suit.

Tigers don't like clowns. They taste funny.


cheers,
Tom
