This has very little — OK, nothing — to do with the law, but it’s just too funny and strange not to share.

I just got a press release from the Humane Society of Baltimore County, which plans to hold its second annual cat wedding on February 14, Valentine’s Day. The couple, Winslow and Comfrey, will be joined in holy meowtrimony at 3 p.m., after which they will be available for adoption. (Please tell me they’ll go to the same house!)

From the release:

The ceremony will be officiated by Roy List, a local non-denominational minister and will feature a “bridal party” comprised of other shelter cats and dogs. A reception complete with wedding cake will be held immediately after the ceremony.

The public is invited to attend the wedding and bring “bridal registry items” as a gift to the happy feline couple. Registry items consist of donation items that the shelter is in need of including cat litter, blankets, beds, nylabones, stainless steel bowls, etc.

I would hate to be in charge of organizing the bridal party. It would be like — well, like herding cats.

The point of the wedding is to encourage people to come down to the Humane Society and adopt pets. To that end, the group is also offering a two-for-one cat adoption special. (Should we call it “buy one, get one flea”? Awful, I know.)

There are a million puns and jokes I want to put out there right now, but I’m holding back (mostly). Readers, please do the honors: come up with a clever title for this post and submit it as a comment.

Double duty

Bad luck: a jury duty summons.

Worse luck: two jury duty summonses from two different jurisdictions.

Even worse luck: two jury duty summonses from two different jurisdictions showing up in your mailbox the same day.

You’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me luck: two jury duty summonses from two different jurisdictions showing up in your mailbox the same day, asking you to appear in court on the same day.

Looks like my husband got on the bad side of the jury duty gods. I say the city and the feds should duel at high noon for the honor of his presence.
