This came in the email from a reader who wants to remain anonymous.  Why, I have no idea.

Maybe they’re worried that Bush has ordered the NSA to secretly wiretap pudus.

They wouldn’t mind.  Pudus love tapping on wires.  Tap, tap, tap, they go.  Sometimes they even dance, their tiny trotters making a sound that makes them giggle.  Tikky-tikky-tik, tikky-tikky-tik-tik.

What the NSA doesn’t realize is that this is actually a code.  "S-T-O-P-L-I-S-T-E-N-I-N-G" they are saying.

Pudus are very sophisticated little animals.
