In the interests of fairness (following this thread )...



What is a Dog?

1. Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.
2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room.
3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.
4. They growl when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play, they want to play.
6. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7. They leave their toys everywhere.
8. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.
9. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you.

CONCLUSION: They're tiny men in little fur coats.



Hmmmm...not as funny though...

dpr, I didn't read the other thread, but I think you're missing somethings that may invalidate your conclusion

DOGS CAN'T TALK BACK
also, you don't have to worry about them putting the seat down
they don't complain when you serve the same meal everday for 8 years.

I've been married, divorced, engaged again, but I have come to realize that I will never become involved with a man that is not as excited to see me when I get home as my dog is. Or one that makes me smile as much.

That being said, thank god for one night stands.
