pearls of wisdom from grandpa timberlake

so i'm still awake [i have no idea why] and watching the tonight show for what could possibly be the first time ever. and justin timberlake is on. which is quite a treat. haha! anyway, he tells this story that his grandfather told him when he was about 10. i'm going to tell it to you now.

so once there was this dog. and the dog walked the same route everyday. along this route there were train tracks he crossed. so one day the dog is walking his route and the end of his tail gets caught in the train tracks. so he gets a little panicked because he looks down the tracks and he sees the train coming. so he doesn't know what to do and instead of pulling on his tail to try to get it out of the tracks, he turns his head around and tries to use his teeth to pull his tail out of the tracks. and just then the train comes by and the dog gets his head ripped off.

moral of the story?

don't lose your head over a little piece of tail.


excellent lesson.
