here's one

    A man and his wife were spending the day at the zoo. She was wearing a loose fitting, pink dress, sleeveless with straps.. He was wearing his usual jeans and T-shirt. As they walked through the ape exhibit, They passed in front of a large, silverback gorilla. Noticing the wife, the gorilla went crazy. He jumped on the bars, and holding on with one hand and two feet he grunted and pounded his chest with his free hand. He was obviously excited at the pretty lady in the pink dress. The husband, noticing the excitement, thought this was funny. He suggested that his wife tease the poor fellow some more by puckering her lips and wiggling her bottom. She played along and the gorilla got even more excited, making noises that would wake the dead. Then the husband suggested that she let one of her straps fall to show a little more skin. She did... and the gorilla was about to tear the bars down. "Now.... show your thighs and sort of fan your dress at him," he said. This drove the gorilla absolutely crazy and he started doing flips. Then the husband grabbed his wife, ripped open the door to the cage, flung her in with the gorilla and slammed the cage door shut. "Now. Tell him you have a headache."        "Thanks to Mr Reynolds"

      Have you ever heard that a dog 'knows' when an earthquake is about to hit? Have you ever heard that a dog can 'sense' when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away? Before the deadly tsunami struck Southeast Asia , hundreds of dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed? At a very early age, my father taught me (and proved the lesson by examples) "Dogs know!" Hundreds of lives have been saved by dogs warning folks when a fire breaks out. Somehow they always know when they can 'go for a ride' before you even ask.. Thousands of examples are on record of dogs getting back home from hundreds of miles away. I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth. I'm convinced dogs can sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance. Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn't right... when impending doom is upon us.
      And they'll always try to warn us of the dangers!                 thx 2 CSM Lewis

      Well it was very productive trip to the gold mine, we had a lot of very good friends show up & help. Many thanks to Pauly's family, Clay & Trish, Jeremiah Van Tine & family, also the Log and his kids. I didn't have much time to take pictures on this trip, way to much work.
