It's open season for animal owners with God complexes, folks!
I can hear the Left now: What do you get when you cross a president with a chimp? Wait! We already have that!

Greg,YBP,
What is the position of the Catholic Church on this?

Brad: I have no idea. It's so bizarre, I don't know if there is one. Do they have a Dept. of Animal Affairs?
Seriously though, from a practical standpoint, who knows what kind of genetic problems might be down the road for these novelty animals. I can see potential for abuse.

Should this not be called a zule not zonkey although zonkey sounds better.

Most likely the hybrid will be sterile like a mule.

Brad,
I doubt the Church has an opinion on this. This was a naturally occuring event. We're all used to hybridizing a horse with a donkey to produce a mule. Mules are infertile. It is likely that the Zonkey is also infertile.

I think Greg is right. The poor thing is infertile. (The zonkey, not Greg.)
We all know the purpose for mules. I wonder what void this poor creature will fill?
At least it was not a forced "marriage," with some wacko standing by with a shotgun to make sure the two critters get it on.

What do you get when you cross a donkey with a liberal?
$5 from the liberal.

yep jinx is right. I always thought the worst job in the world has to be the guy that "guides" the stud horse to the mare from underneath both while breeding race horses. This is done to prevent injury as horses get kind of upset while mating and injury is common. The other bad job has to be the "catcher" that catches the studs "genetic material" when they put the stud up on a fake mare extract the semen. Since it is pick on greg day. Greg thinking about a career change????

YBP how many empties you got? Having a bottling party Sunday evening. That is if the stuff will stop bubbling. Wife says each bubble says "too much yeast mike".
Also I think that catcher job may be white collar. Well not at first.

Yeah, I'd like to be the only male on the planet Boosmak.

Goldang! This is just like that feak of an ocean mammal wholphin hybrid, 'cept it's more like a mule. See the dang Wholphin can reproduce, unlike the sterile mule. So, the real issue is whether this thing can reproduce and will it be as fast as genetically engineered atlantic salmon?

Ya say fill er up, huh. Little woman said the other day, "You will not be giving that away to all your stupid friends you bastard!!!". Now you know why I have all the empties. God I hope she hates it. Seems like every time I get the notion to have a little nip or two my bottle is empty. I think giving it away is almost as fun as drinking it myself. Spread the Joy I always say.

It will provide delicious meals for lions without all of those confusing stripes. Apparently the lions have a much stronger lobby than the zebras.

Zonkeys and zonies (a zebra/mustang pony cross) have been around for years at Grant's Farm in St. Louis. They're supposedly very sweet, gentle animals. And, yes, like mules, they're the end of that particular genetic line.

It's not so much the name that bothers me it's the email address. Next time the little punks code breaks in the middle of the night guess who won't be taking the call. We do have a blast, revenge is required in this case I believe as office pranks go. I would post his email but I tend not to do shit like that. I'm # 2 on my team. he is about #6.

Wow # 1 just asked for a volunteer to work 3 nights in a row. I emailed why I though Brian would be the best choice and I would like to volunter him for this very very tiring and 3rd shift task.

YBP you have no idea really. She is a obsessive compulsive paranoid schitzo with psychotic tendencies but she has a great ass. Why is it that the good ones are always a freaking nut? She is faithful and a pretty darn good wife overall but she is quite difficult. Dr tried to help her with it once to which she replied "I am not crazy its you who is crazy". Classic. Some day Howie just may come up missing. Get me a nice bike and just dissappear. Dream on Howie. I'm getting used to having to turn around and go back home and check every light switch & the coffee pot. I have also learned to tune out the ugly comments that stream continuously from her mouth. Our boy is 10 now come on 18. But her mother is Satan and I'm serious. She is just like spawn of Satan. I could tell you stories that will curl your hair. Ain't love grand??

Filthy Allah is a great man and I must now ban myself for making jokes about his animals.

"she has a great ass"
Howie: I can see where your priorities are! Well, I don't blame you.
There's simple medication for this condition, which MANY people have. Nothing for her to be ashamed of. She doesn't admit there's a problem, right? Without it, it may get better or worse. A girlfriend from the past had a mom the same way--a nice person, but she thought people were comunicating with her through clicks on the phone and through the TV. The mom's father talked about knowing the date of the end of the world and collected large rocks which he kept in the basement.
Hang in there, friend, and don't give up.

YBP thanks for the encouragement. You may have noticed that I have scruples. While I may not be the the model citizen I am certainly dedicated to my commitment and to my young un. I would not worry too much about me. I'm tough as nails. No easy way out for me. It makes it easier when you know she is "just that way". Hey I'm outta here have a great weekend.
