Big weekend for mom coming up. It is time to celebrate and remember the good moms out there (Brittany is not part of that group).

1. On a director of a dog grooming school in Thailand saying that he launched Dog Radio Thailand this week because he has seen music improve the mood of dogs he grooms:
“Apparently it also makes them taste better.”

2. On EBAY’s decision that New Zealand is not for sale, despite somebody in neighboring Australia trying to offload the nation of 4 million to the highest online bidder:
“Apparently, EBAY hasn’t made a decision on the Brooklyn Bridge yet.”

3. On California police saying that a lady who led them on a foot pursuit had previously claimed she was a paraplegic:
“Looks like she was a step ahead of them … get it?”

4. On a police officer in Connecticut being arrested on allegations he accidentally fired his Taser gun and injured another officer at the police department this week:
“Is that what they are calling them these days?”

5. On a case of missing manure in an Amish community in Ohio having a village street cleaner so upset that she reported the messy poop pilferer to police:
“He’s probably tired of dealing with this sh*t.”

6. On an east Georgia man getting thrown in jail after photographing his healthy pot plants and going to local drug store to have the pictures developed:
“Sounds like he’s ‘weed-ardid.’”

7. On a shotgun that accidentally discharged at an auction to benefit a family whose home burned down in Iowa:
“Then a flock of birds took a dump on the family.”

8. On animal control officers and state police removing more than 60 dead cats from a woman's home in Connecticut, and rescuing nearly 60 others and a dog while responding to an anonymous complaint:
“Looks like there’ll be a whole host of lunch specials at Chinese restaurants in the area.”
