Paddy and Mike were strolling down the street when they came upon a cat lying next to the road and licking his groin clean, as cats usually tend to do.

“Boy,” said Mike, “I sure wish that I could do that.”

Paddy replies, “Yup, wouldn’t mind that either, but I for one sure as heck wouldn’t try it!”

“Oh? Why not?” asked Mike.

“Well for one thing, I’m pretty sure he’ll scratch and bite!”
