Female kidney turns lumberjack on to housework

In the news

Uh…

A Croatia lumberjack claims he started ‘enjoying housework and knitting’ after he was given a female kidney..

Stjepan Lizacic, 56, from Osijek, is suing his local health authority because he says he’s become a laughing stock.

He says his life changed from enjoying heavy drinking sessions with pals to prefering housework after the operation.

He told local newspaper 24sata: “The kidney transplant saved my life, but they never warned me about the side effects.

“I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting.”

He pointed out that before the kidney transplant he would not have been seen dead doing the housework, and expected his wife to do it all, but now found it both relaxing and fulfilling.

He said: “My wife is the only one that is pleased. I do most of the housework now, and I blame the hospital that transplanted me the kidney of a 50-year-old woman instead of a man’s kidney.”

His wife Radmila added: “If the new femine side to him is confined to housework I am very happy, I only hope he doesn’t start looking at other men.”

Diverted

Daily Shots

During my usual bike ride at lunch, I completely forgot that the CNE was going on and that I couldn’t ride through the grounds on my way back to the office (this after I had to find an alternate route to work this morning, but I digress), so I rode down along the waterfront. There were lots of boats in the marina near Toronto Island Airport, and I also noticed one of the “Hippo” tour buses I’ve seen driving around town in the water. I’d love to have a vehicle that I can drive on the road and also double as a boat. But, the Hippo is pretty ugly, and personally, I’d rather own a bison.

Senator pwns himself…

Hilarity

One of my favourite things in the world is when someone says something so utterly stupid, and realises it the moment it leaves their lips. Hell, I do that once in a while too, so I can appreciate the humour in it.

Anyway, here is a clip from Bill Maher’s “Religulous” where Senator of Arkansas Mark Pryor is put on the spot as to what his religious views are. I won’t spoil it for you, so check it out:

Wow. That was awesome. Too bad Pryor is a Democrat though… I prefer laughing at Republicans.   ;-)

Thanks to Jared for sending this my way. Frikkin’ hilarious.
