In Pinellas County, Florida, the Sheriff’s new rug turned out to have a tiny little typo in the logo printed on it. Instead of “In God We trust” (bleah), it had as the thread title says, “In Dog We Trust”. Although I have to wonder if it was someone’s idea of a prank.
Still, at least they’re being pretty classy about getting rid of it. They’re auctioning it off and donating the proceeds. Personally though I’d have given it to the K-9 unit if they have one; it would be just too perfect to resist.
One of my friends got married, and when her groom said his vows he said, “So help me dog. Uh, god,” at the end of them. Cracked the bridal party right up.
It sounds like a win-win situation. Someone gets a new, slightly-used, custom-made rug, and the Sheriff’s Dept gets a free replacement rug from a manufacturer with little, or no, quality control.
One news report said the rug was there two months before a “sharp-eyed deputy” noticed the error. I assert that if it took two months, “sharp-eyed” is not an appropriate phrase.
I think the wrong spelling might have actually been the right one. I trust my dogs implicitly. I know how they think, how they’ll react, and what they’ll do in any given situation. I’m 100% positive that they would go after anyone who did me harm, with extreme prejudice.
God, on the other hand…he or she can be wildly unpredictable.
