A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea: "Let us fly!"
Said the fly: "Let us flee!"
So they flew through a flaw in the flue!

DETROIT, MI — Physiologists and
historians are scrambling to determine whether or not "Brandy"
the Boxer has rightful claim to the title "biggest dog tongue in the
world".
On Wednesday, TBS aired Ripley's
Believe It or Not, Episode
#307, which showcased the lengthy lingua (and its attached dog) in
action. Seven-year-old Brandy has a 17-inch
(43cm) tongue that just keeps on growing.
"Her tongue was
already adult-like at birth," says John Scheid, Brandy's
guardian. "At first we thought she would just grow into it, but
as she grew her tongue also did."
Brandy and her famous tongue have been
gaining notoriety for several years, according to her fan club
website, tungdog.com.
Her résumé includes:
- 1999 PAX-TV Ugly Dog Contest (1st
place)
- 2000 96.3 Ugly Dog Contest and Stupid
Pet Tricks in Sterling Heights (2nd place in both categories)
- 2001 WRIF's Petapalooza, Stupid Tricks
and Owner-Pet Look-Alike (2nd place)

It is currently being investigated
whether or not Brandy's 17-inch licker deserves a mention in the record
books. As it stands, it looks like she may just beat out Gene
Simmons, the lead
singer for the heavy metal band KISS. That is, unless Gene decides
to break out the taffy-pulling machine again.
