Thanks to Kev for the news story about Lucky the koala, who miraculously survived being hit by a car going about 60 mph and dragged seven miles. Lucky hung on with one arm and because his head was stuck in the car's grille, and had to be freed, jaws-of-life-style, with a pair of household scissors.
He's doing fine, the story says, now that he's had a little rest and some food, but is staying at a vet hospital founded by Steve Irwin. He'll be there for 45 days to recuperate from his car trauma and -- yes -- chlamydia.
A) Who knew koalas could get chlamydia?
B) The story made me wonder what would happen if I could adopt Lucky. My roommate's temporary dog, Frank The Temp, who's still "hanging" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) and is noticeably lacking in conjugal visits would see that bear as fair game and force Lucky to be his date. Then we'd have a flea-ridden chlamydia factory in the house.
Probably it's a good thing I can't get Lucky.

Hate to quibble, but "freed, jaws-of-life-style, with a pair of household scissors" doesn't make much sense.
And who knew you could get chlamydia from the grill of a car. Koala chlamydia, no less.
Sure it does, if you use the scissors to hold the grille open while you extricate the bear.
Well I got it at least. The Jaws of Life reference, not Koala chlamydia, that is.
Good. Because chlamydia is -- I hear -- not so much fun.
