Combining

Readers may have noted Gorilla Banana's unparalleled ability to combine two disparate items, resulting in both humor and a philosophical view of the issue at hand. And Doghouse, despite being hampered by back-yard accommodations, shows an ability to transcend hard kibble and connect the dots.

Think of the time that could be saved. Instead of separate warnings for the global financial meltdown, H1N1 Swine flu, and West Nile virus, combine and condense:

-Wear long sleeved shirts and DEET while washing your hands of houses you bought and can't afford;
-Avoid close contact with sick individuals, including anyone with the last name of Madoff, any mosquitoes showing signs of West Nile Virus, or those coughing and sneezing anywhere other than their long-sleeved shirts;
-avoid being outside between dusk and dawn, without personal protection of a hedge fund, or a sturdy particle mask.

Now if only cute women could be discouraged from revenge flings with odd and unworthy men (photo of Holly Valance, recent ex-girlfriend of the luscious Alex O'Loughlin of Moonlight, and her latest conquest).

Moo!
