The Funeral A cardiac specialist passed away after a long and successful life. At his funeral, the coffin was placed in front of a huge mockup of a heart, made up of nearly a thousand flowers. When the pastor finished with the sermon, and a touching eulogy had been concluded, and after everyone had paid their respects, the heart-shaped flower sculpture opened, the coffin was rolled inside, and then the heart slowly closed - - totally enveloping the deceased physician. Just then, one of the mourners burst into laughter. The guy next to him asked, "Why are you laughing?" "I was thinking about my own funeral," the man replied. "What's so funny about that?" "I'm a gynecologist!"

Jack rabbits attack walkers in Sonoma County; man bitten, woman forced to evade jack rabbit sacbee.com Published 8:10 p.m. PST Friday, March 29, 2002 SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Sonoma County musician Doug Bowes will remember this Easter season as the one where he happened upon the Easter Bunny, and it attacked him. Bowes was walking near his home at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when the attack occurred. A small, gray jack rabbit bounded toward him from a nearby fence. "I thought, 'Gosh, this is somebody's pet,' " Bowes said. He put his hand down in a friendly gesture and the bunny lunged and bit him. Bowes began to walk home, nursing a sore hand with broken skin, but the rabbit followed him. A short time later, a nearby neighbor had to retreat up a hill after another aggressive jack rabbit forced her back. Bowes had to get rabies shots and faces five additional vaccinations, though area health officials say it would be rare if the animal had rabies. "If it were (rabid) it would make history," said David Yong, director of laboratory services for the county public health division. No rabbit has tested positive for rabies in Sonoma County in the past 16 years, Yang said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
