I was driving in Yellowstone park many years ago. There was stopped traffic and a bit of snow on the ground. There were many beautiful bison meandering around the stopped traffic.

A man got out of his red pickup truck laughing, he made a snowball and hit a huge bison square on the forehead. Still laughing the man jumped back in his truck, and shut the door. The traffic was not moving at all. The bison stared at the closed door of the red truck for about a minute, and then he slowly walked over to the drivers side door. He then slowly head butted the door with his enormous horns, causing severe damage to the truck. You could hear the man screaming profanities through his closed window of the now misshapen truck.

When I was with my ex-husband, I used to bug him to go to the dentist. I had great benefits and he had never had coverage before.

After being married for only 18 months, I learned he had cheated on me with at least one woman. My heart was shattered as I moved out. At work I asked HR to remove him from my benefits so my deduction would go down.

After a couple of months, he calls me at work (and just doesn’t sound like his usual self). I was polite and professional, and asked how he was doing. Turns out he had a once-in-a-lifetime toothache that had kept him up all night.

Then he asked the million-dollar question: ‘I need to go to the dentist. How does our benefit plan work?’ I had such a hard time maintaining my composure, oh how I wanted to laugh and clap my hands in joy. Instead, I calmly replied that he was no longer on my benefit plan

What? We’re still married!’ This, even though he never grasped the concept of monogamy. I informed him that benefits cost money and I needed every cent I earned. Then I wished him luck and said goodbye.

t was a good day. A very good day indeed.

This was during the 1980’s. I had taken my niece to the zoo mainly for the exercise and fresh air. She was around a year old and in a stroller. I stopped at a bench in front of the big cat cages. At this time they were kept in small enclosures, most with a ledge and a water source. There really wasn’t much room for them to walk around. Most of the big cats slept up on the ledges rarely coming down to be seen.

In front of the cheetah cage was a little boy. His parents were sitting on the other end of the bench that I was on. They were talking to each other while keeping an eye on their son. This really wasn’t necessary as the whole time he stood in front of the cheetah cage yelling “Cheetah, cheetah, cheetah!” Like a baseball player would yell “Batter, batter, batter!”

This went on for around 10 minutes and was becoming annoying. I was beginning to rethink my decision to stop and sit on the bench. This is when the cheetah came down off the ledge. The little boy jumped up and down in excitement, never stopping his chant. He motioned for his parents to come over to see that he had got the cheetah to come down off the ledge. They went and stood by him.

The cheetah languidly walked back and forth in front of them as the little boy continued his chant. The cheetah then turned around looking like he was going back to his ledge. Instead the cheetah let out a stream of urine hitting the little boy in the mouth promptly shutting him up. The looks on his and his parents faces were priceless.

This is from my boyfriend's parents:

Their dog was trying to get a toy off of the counter where he couldn't reach it and, after some time of jumping and whining, he eventually walked away in what looked like defeat.

Instead he goes to find the cat. He barks at the cat a few times, so the cat stands up and follows the dog to the room with the toy. They stop in front of the counter, the cat meows at the dog, the dog barks at the cat, the cat jumps up onto the counter and knocks the toy onto the floor. The dog is ecstatic and jumps around with the toy while the cat just saunters off back to his bed.

*They're communicating*.

My cat meows constantly and runs to his food bowl until I eventually get up to give him breakfast. By the time I get back to bed, he's fast asleep where I was just lying. What a jerk.

To indicate they want to go outside, our family's dogs have always been trained to ring a small bell hanging from the doorknob on a shoelace. Once when I was home sick from school and sprawled out on the couch, the dog rang the bell and looked at me - clearly wanting to go outside. I got up and went to the door to let him out, only to turn around and see that he had immediately seized the opportunity to hop on the couch.

My ex, of 3 years of dating/ had a ring picked out and bought/ living together (in North Carolina), asked my 5 year old son if he “knew how stupid his father was”. I finished making dinner for everyone, walked outside, called her parents (in Florida)and told them to make arrangements for her to move back home and that she was not welcomed in my house anymore.
