DEAD CAT THEORY - you enter a debate by throwing a dead cat on the table and suddenly the debate changes and people talk about the dead cat not the matter in hand. Don’t think it’s a quote but I found it funny in a strange kind of way.
That is truly the funniest thing I’ve heard this month. And I do love cats. So it’s not meanness that makes it funny. It just is.

- I’m a cat-lover (well,sort of) and I found it hilarious – not sure why because it’s not really a joke and it doesn’t have a punch line.
Bit like the news report of a cat rescue from a tree by firemen in Glasgow? The report ended with the comment that despite the firemen’s heroic effort, when the cat was set free it dashed under the fire-engine and was run over.
