A dog lover, whose dog was a female and in heat, agreed to look after her neighbours' male dog while the neighbours were on vacation.
She had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart.
However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and moaning sounds.
She rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked together in obvious pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when dogs mate.
Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although it was late, she called the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice.
After she explained the problem to him, the vet said,
"Hang up the phone and place it down alongside the dogs."
"I will then call you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose his erection and he will be able to withdraw."
"Do you think that will work?" she asked.
"It just worked for me," .

THE STORM
A Gulfstream trailer I was sleeping in was overcome by a rising river in the middle of the night. I remember it even now, fifty years later, as such a breech of comprehension that I watched the whole thing from above (somehow) and giving myself good advice and information.
Chaos is remarkably traceable back to its nexus or black hole if you have this kind of perspective. Bubbles go up so you know where the surface is. The door will open once the pressure equalizes ... grab a thing that floats and keep it in front of you ... a pan can become a cudgel. So many things you need to know in the dark of liquid air and some voice guiding you ... don't lose your head ... make friends with the river, it picks favorites of the ones along for the ride.
Lucky? Maybe. I have friends that are living this now. The only thing I have to offer as a survivor is this ... you will never take LIFE again for granted and in every case in the future you will choose love over misery when it matters ...
