Be patient. Listen

I CAME home from work. I was tired. I sat down on the sofa. Put my feet up. My wife brought me a glass of water. My son gave me a sheet of paper:

English Lang. 17 per cent
Biology 35 per cent
Mathematics 40 per cent
Physics 37 per cent
Chemistry 42 per cent
Economics 12 per cent
Agric. Science 19 per cent
Religion Knowl. ABS
Geography 22 per cent

I lost my temper. And started shouting:

“What is this? All the time on phone and TV. How dare you show me such marks?”

My Wife said: “Be patient. Listen….”

I told her: “Shut up! It’s your love and pampering that has spoilt him. He is no good and never serious at all.”

My Wife said: “Oh! Really?”

I said: “No one in our family has performed so badly ever.”

My Son said: “Dad, I am sorry. I was cleaning the old cupboard and I found this. This is your old school report card, dated July 27, 1980 sir.”

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.

“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
