Mon Apr 27, 2009 10:51am EDT
BANGKOK (Reuters Life!) - A young Thai jewelry designer has crafted a tiara worth $4.2 million for his pet dog, using precious stones given to him by his mother.
Riwin Jirapolsek, who showcased the tiara at a dog show in Bangkok recently, said he wanted to make something special for Kanune, his 15-year-old male Maltese.
He took almost two months to finish the piece, which is made from titanium encrusted with 250-carats of emeralds and diamonds.

Posted in cows, farms, milking
Because of the shortage of jobs in the town, a boy applied for work on a farm.
The foreman told him to milk a cow, equipping him with a stool and bucket.
An hour later the boy returned dirty and sweaty, bucket in one hand and broken stool in the other.
"Extracting the milk was easy," he explained. "The worst part was getting the cow to sit on the stool."

A traveling salesman can drive no further one night, so he pulls into a cheap motel for a couple of hour's sleep. When he lies down, however, he hears a noise and, turning on a light, he sees two mice scuffling in a corner. He calls the desk clerk.
"Hey," he says, "there are two mice fighting in my room."
"How much are you paying for the room?" the clerk asks.
"$50," says the salesman.
"Well, what do you expect for $50," the clerk says. "A bullfight?"

Phil Notes
On Saturday, Phil and Jo Ann explored world of stock cars at the Western
New York Stock car show held at a local UMC church in nearby Gates, NY.
There were a number of stock cars in assorted shapes and sizes and
many bright colors. Some had the owners name and sponsor painted on the
side of the car. One car was a midget and the owner had get in car by
raising a panel in the roof of the car. There was big crowd there and
they also had refreshments. Phil and Jo Ann had some a hot and hamburger
for their lunch and some of the desserts ( being sold by the church) for
lunch. We also met the female pastor and shared how our son in a UMC
