I’d be a loser if the name of the game was “Who can use bold tags the mostest?”, but unfortunately for you and your Collie the name of the game is “Don’t Whiz on the Electric Fence!”, so you are the one who is in the losing category. It’s a shame you brought your dog with you, because by pissing like that you are responsible in the burning of not only yourself, but also your own dog. Poof.

I had a similar experience with the “Dr. Who’s on First?” joke. In related news: I took an online personality test recently that was nice enough to point out that I have trouble resisting temptation. I guess the Internet really does know everything.
