Never thought you could make a pet of a crock. The pictures are amazing!

That's true, but we all have to go sooner or later.

I'd rather have "He died hugging his giant pet crocodile" on my tombstone than "Died of food poisoning from an undercooked chicken patty".

My father wanted "Shot by a jealous husband"!

I never knew Gene drank, until I saw him sober one time!
