So many BAAAAAD puns so little time!

Too funny -

Ewe've been conned ladies

THOUSANDS of rich women were conned by a firm into believing LAMBS were valuable miniature POODLES.

Entire flocks were imported to Japan from the UK and Australia then sold by the internet company as the latest “must have” pet.

The bizarre scam was rumbled when Japanese movie star Maiko Kawakami complained on a talk show that her new poodle refused to bark or eat dog food.

She showed photos of the animal and was devastated when told that it was a lamb.

One couple found out the truth only after a dog beautician told them that she could not trim their poodle’s claws — because they were HOOVES.

This would be really funny if it were actually true! Unfortunately this is another urban legend propagated via email. I can't begin to tell you how many people send me email on a daily basis that are fake news stories. If you receive an email that is bizarre or too good to be true it most likely is.

The best place to verify is at the SNOPES web site. One of the most reliable urban myth busters that I have come across.

Case in point - the sheep story.
