I thought I'd share a Luther story with you all.
SCENE
-----
First I need to describe the set up of the scene. The action
takes place in my kitchen where I have a wall that does not go
completely to the ceiling, instead it becomes a ledge about 2
feet from the ceiling upon which sit many cobalt blue glass pieces.
On the otherside of the wall is the front hall. Against the wall
in the front hall is an antique reflecting table (about 1.5' wide)
with stuff on top of it.
STORY
----
This weekend Luther wanted to play fetch with his plastic "ball".
After play for a while I need to go into the kitchen and sure enough
he followed me in with his plastic in his mouth. I, thinking nievely
that he would go around, decided to toss the plastic over the wall.
Instantly Luther was up and I'm screaming "Don't Luther". But do
cats listen? Of course not. Next thing I know he's up on the counter,
up on the ledge and I hear a thump.
Believe it or not he actually made it up and over without breaking
any of my glass or damaging the table.

Reminds me of the time one of my guests threw a beer cap across
the coffee table for T.K. to fetch. I was just opening my
mouth to warn him not to but it was too late, he three it.
POPCORN AND CHIPS AND PRETZELS WERE EVERYWHERE!!!! I guess
T.K. is not as careful as your monster!

Why don't you do this:
Notes> 1718
Notes> EXTRACT NOTE.TXT (or a file name of your choice)
Notes> DELETE
Are you sure you want to delete note 1718? (Y/N) <N> Y
Notes> 1717
Notes> REPLY
Then, from whatever editor you use, include NOTE.TXT, which contains the
text of the note you had written as 1718. Exit from the editor, and
voila! Your note will now be a reply to this one.

P.S. A moderator could do this as well, and then delete this reply and

Note 1718.0 Dangerous Dinky!! No replies

Oh dear!!!
And who are we to tell them off when it is actually us throwing
the object in the first place who are really at fault!!!
I remember showing off one of my cats, Dinky (rather overweight
and dreadfully greedy but lovely just the same, white cat!) to
some neighbours who popped round to our flat last summer.
We were chatting and trying to wave away all the flies and bugs
who had flown in through the open window when I rashly remarked
that I didn't need fly spray as Dinky would catch them if told
to. Of course, I had to pick the worst place to demonstrate -
the living room window sill where ornaments made of glass and
china galore are a willing target lined up across the top!
"Come on Dinky" I said encouragingly and only realised my
mistake when, leaping up at the offending fly, Dinky's back
legs became entangled in the net curtaining at the window and
she began a slow, uncomfortable descent onto the pile of
ornaments accompanied by the nasty tearing noise of nets!!!!
My annoyance was only outshone by my embarrassment and I
was even more mortified when Dinky presented the remains of
a fat bluebottle on the carpet and sat patiently awaiting
the usual reward of a cat biscuit!!!!!
CATS!! who'd have them.......!!
