Jest a minute

VFW Magazine, June-July, 2003

* A man drove his cat into the woods a long way from home. The cat went back home. The second time he drove farther from home. The cat went back home again. The third time he took the cat for a longer ride and went left, then right, then left and right again. He called his wife at home and asked, "Is the cat there?" reunions

His wife told him yes.

The man said , "Put the cat on the phone--I've lost my way home."
