A friend was being attacked by a large dog and realized that he had no way of getting away from the perp so he doubled up his fist and swung straight at his mouth. Perfect swing as dog's mouth was open so friend's fist went quite the distance down dog's throat so he began to grab hold of whatever he could while whacking dog on the back of his neck with the other hand. Dog finally was able to spit him out and headed for parts unknown. Friend said that from that day on, anytime that dog saw him he would leave the country as fast as he could. Lesson learned.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
