Previously I wrote about viral emails I'm guilty of spreading and ones that have tugged at my heart. Well, here's some that I've found just doggone hysterical.

Off the Mark Cartoons

My neighbor Marlene forwarded an email with "From a dog's point of view" in the subject line. It contained a bunch of Off the Mark cartoons by Mark Parisi.

These were cartoons I'd never seen before and had me in stitches because I thought they were incredibly clever. My favorites were:

• "Aromatherapy Candles" - a dog's standing in front of a rack of dog rear end candles, with the tails making up the wicks.

• "Pre-Rinse Cycle" - a dog is sitting in front of the dishwasher holding a sign that says "pre-rinse cycle" as a lady is coming to the sink with a batch of dirty dishes. (I should have showed this one to the GE repairman the other day. He would have appreciated it.)

• Christmas Tree - A dog says to a cat using his litter box, "Ha Ha, Smarty-Pants...guess who else is getting his own indoor bathroom?" as a father and son are struggling to put up a Christmas tree.

• Potty Perceptions - A dog drinking out of the toilet bowl, a cat napping on newspaper, and a boy playing in a sand box are all sharing the same bubble, which says, "Yuk! Doesn't he know what that is REALLY used for?" (The boy's looking at the dog, the dog's looking at the cat, and the cat's looking at the boy.)

The Jury's In

This one's another cartoon, this time courtesy of my friend Freddie. He sent it right around the time the Michael Vick controversy was going hot and heavy.

The subject line read "Jury Selection Complete" and it showed a very nervous-looking Michael Vick in the witness box with a bunch of famous angry canines glaring at him from the jury box. Recognizable jurors included Scooby-Doo, Snoopy, Goofy, Underdog and Astro. You got the distinct impression they certainly weren't going to let him off easy.
