I Thought Cats Were Supposed to be Bright

Happy Hump Day

Let week we had fun with a little dog shaming. 

This week I'm giving equal time to our feline friends.

No, not "shaming" - 

seriously, have you ever seen a guilty cat? -

these would fall under the heading of "not too bright".

Do you think we should tell him there's an easier way to reach that toy?

Like maybe walking around the door.

Oh, and to keep your brains in better shape than these kitties,

here are a few more entries from the

Engineer's Conversion Table.

Basic unit of laryngitis = 1 hoarsepower

 453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake

1 million-million microphones = 1 megaphone

             

Here's another kitty who seems to have a problem with doors.

  

It's the flap on your right, sweetie. On your right.

 

Oh,well.

More conversion units:

 

52 cards = 1 decacards

1 kilogram of falling figs = 1 FigNewton

2000 mockingbirds = 2 kilomockingbirds  

I especially like that last one.

 I'm not sure what this little guy was thinking.

But don't you love his expression?

 Hopefully that hand is coming to the rescue.

And still more conversion units:

1000 milliliters of wet socks = 1 literhosen

1 millionth of a fish = 1 microfiche

100 rations = 1 C-ration

        

 I can hear this guy thinking, "Oh crap. Now what."

 Little help here, please.

Okay, last of the conversion table:

2 monograms = 1 diagram

 4 nickels = 2 paradigms

2.4 statute miles of intravenous surgical tubing at Yale University Hospital = 1 IV League

  

Since I picked on cats today, I know I should offer a cute kitten for your "aw",

but this picture just came my way yesterday and I fell in love with this face.

Bet you said it.

(Who could resist that smile?)

Alrighty then. Are we there? Over that dreaded mid week hump?
On our way to the weekend?
Fantastic.

Did you have a favorite?

Have a great day, week, weekend -
and I'll see you next Wednesday.

Lesson for Today:  (I know this is a little long but I think it's worth it.)

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'  So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'Hmm' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'  So she did and she had a grand day.

 The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'  So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.  'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!' 

Attitude is everything.

Dog Shame and Engineers...or is it Engineer Shame and...

Happy Hump Day

Welcome to your hump day funnies...here to provide you with a little boost to get you over the mid-week hump.

Mixed in with today's photos you'll find some educational material I hope you'll find useful.. 

(Hey, I'm not just another pretty face over here. I got smarts!)

Let's get started.

I'm wondering is that expression is guilt...

...or if he's trying to pass a Lego. Ouch.

Here are some entries from the latest 

Engineering Conversion Table.

Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter = Eskimo Pi

2000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton

1 millionth of a mouthwash = 1 microscope

 Good stuff to know, right?

 I'm not sure on this one.

 I think the "helper" wants to throw his buddy under the bus.

 More educational stuff:

Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement = 1 bananosecond

Weight an evangelist carries with God = 1 billigram

Time it takes to sail 220 yards at 1 nautical mile per hour = Knotfurlong

Don't you feel smarter already?

 

This guy flat out does not look ashamed.

But that would certainly be startling.

Just one more set of these. I don't want to over-tax your brains.

16.5 feet in theTwilight Zone = 1 Rod Serling 

Half of a large intestine = 1 semicolon 

1,000,000 aches = 1 megahurtz

You'll want to impress your friends with your new knowledge.

I'm cheating a little with your "aw" today. It's another "dog-shaming" shot. 

But when I saw this one, I "aw"ed more than I laughed.

You just know she's really sorry.

I've got more Engineer Conversion Table items so if you want to expand your knowledge, let me know and I'll add some to next week's post.

 Are we there? Over the hump?

Excellent. 

Coast down the slope to the weekend and have a great one.

See you next Wednesday.

Classic Exchange for Today: 

George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill: 

"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend ... if you have one."

Winston Churchill, in response:  

"Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second ... if there is one."
