This and the "Santa" one were just a couple of Xerox copies floating around the office. Sales guys bring them in occasionally to get a laugh.

These two I thought were particularly funny, but not funny enough to type all that crap out from scratch so I "googled" the titles of them and found the text all over the place...

Google the titles here and you'll get links to sites with a whole bunch of useless humor type stuff if you like this...

this is especially funny to me because I just recently had to give two cats a pill a day for two weeks and one if them is a REAL B**CH. We had to take them to the vet every day because we just couldnt do it, one time a guy just got tired of trying to put it down the mouth and so he put it in the other way... the next time we took them they were so concerned with keeping their butts as close to the table as possible that it was pretty easy to put it in their mouths
