Catholic Dog

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company.. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, 'Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?'

Father Patrick replied, 'I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church.. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature.'

Muldoon said, 'I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?'

Father Patrick exclaimed, 'Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?

Nope, used to be the punt, but now it's the euro.

Here's something to laugh at. My credit card number was stolen and/or counterfeited onto a new card. Okay, that's not so funny, but I got called today by the fraud busters at said credit card company, and I called back. The person on the other end of the line gave me a list of rather mundane purchases that had been made or attempted in the last few days: Toys R Us, another store, some bar or restaurant, and -- my favorite -- $121 and some odd cents to "Bikini Boot Camp." I asked the customer rep to repeat that, and she and I both cracked up together as our individual minds filled up with images of assorted waxings and possible enhancements by whatever process.

The card has been cancelled. Another one with a new number will go into the mail tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm taking some delight in thinking of myself as almost...

Bikini Girl.

OK, Bikini Girl...come clean! You just had second thoughts after you made that charge on
your card. You can tell me all about it later.

Let's say I have just stolen someone's credit card. Which, of course, I would never do.

Would I buy

A new car

A house

or

some stuff at Toys-R-US, & a bikini?

(an apparently very expensivie bikini, though)

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to google "Bikini Boot Camp". It's an online
weight loss program. I didn't go past the first page where they wanted more information
to see how much it costs.

I'm thinking maybe it was a female that compromised your card, SC.

Hmmm, do we know of a female who lives with SC who is concerned with weight these days?????


Naaaaaaaa!

Yes, and with the Toys R Us purchase in there, perhaps a young mother. I agree with ghost, though, about being surprised at the relatively low total value of what she bought. The toy purchase was only about $8. Why risk being caught for so little?

It couldn't be Annie. She's not the bikini type. Now, if charges had appeared from PetSmart or the pizza place, I'd have second thoughts.

If it was the first thing bought, it may have been a trial run, to make sure it worked.

That's what I thought.

Walgreen's doesn't make you sign for anything under $25 and I think the Post Office it's $50. Or the other way around. And at a gas pump you don't even have to face a clerk who could ID you later. There are plenty of good ways to check out the number...

Exactly. We got a call from our credit card bank a few years back because I had topped off my gas tank at a different gas station than usual in preparation for a long trip the next day. Small purchase, which raised a red flag with the bank because of the size and unusual (for me) location.

We went to the warehouse club, and Steve left his credit card and club card behind at the register. We went to get gas, and he realized he had left his card behind, so we used mine, then went back to the store to retrieve his. We got home and the company called us to ask if we had bought gas (yes) and tried three times to withdraw cash from an ATM inside the warehouse club (hell no).

The clerk was fired.
