Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

* You are now free to be devoured by a cheetah *

From the AP:

ATLANTA - A Delta baggage worker got a bit of a fright when she opened a jetliner's cargo door and found a cheetah running loose amid the luggage.

Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton said Friday that two cheetahs were being flown in the cargo area of a passenger flight from Portland, Ore., to Atlanta a day earlier when one escaped from its cage.

Talton said the airline summoned help from an Atlanta zoo but not before the Cheetah had devoured a stewardess and three others that had tried to use plane's restroom (Zooillogix may or may not have added that last part). Experts rushed to a closed airport hangar and tranquilized both animals and took them back to the zoo.

Talton said the airline is now working to get the big cats back to their owners. She declined to identify the owners, citing Delta's privacy rules.

The good news for passengers: The cheetah did not damage any of their luggage.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude. DUDE. You okay? Also, when I was in drivers' ed, the rule was that you actually turned around and looked when backing up, with the rearview mirror as a distinctly Less Okay option. Also, you okay?

Aside from being seriously pissed off, I'm fine. Fortunately, she was rolling back and hadn't hit the gas yet.

Though, as Monique has pointed out to me, I should have taken a dive and screamed, "OH NOOOOO... MY LEGGGGG!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hope you did scream "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Good to hear you're all right! Even getting tapped by a car is scary stuff.

I just had a cat on my chest, purring and headbutting me in contentment, and all was right with the world.

Now I have cat hair all over my hand and floating to the floor, and all is black fuzz in the world.
