Vegans in a hamburger joint

Sitting in a local burger joint last night with the family, one of them posed the question to the waitress



"Which is your favourite cheese in a cheeseburger?"

Imagine my surprise when she replied

"Well it used to be the blue cheese but I don't eat cheese any more because I'm a vegan."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh yes, there are several vegans on the staff here - three in fact, plus one vegetarian."

"Anything to do with the food?"

"Oh no, I just couldn't help feeling sorry for them,"

The animals, I assumed she meant. But apparently management don't like them mentioning that bit.

Killing lions for fun

Isn't it weird?

A highly paid medical health professional pays £££ to go all the way to Zimbabwe to kill a lion.


And - oops, the country's most famous one.

I know I'm a vet, so maybe it's a bit different for me, but I still find it astonishing that anyone - particularly in this day and age of environmental sensitivity - would WANT to do such a thing.

And then put it up on Facebook as a matter of pride.

Maybe in the hope that his patients, as they sat in his dental chair, would gaze admiringly at his manly, latex-gloved hands and think 'Hmm those are the fingers that cradled the rifle and then pulled the trigger. Those are the hands that belong to a man of courage and sensitivity, just the type of hands I'd like in my mouth, fixing my teeth.'

Not sure whether he necessarily deserves to have to close down his clinic as appears to be happening, but you would think he could find something better to do with his time...
