Growing up, were you ever told a saying to the effect of, “If an ugly woman is about to sing on stage, pay attention - she’s not up there for her looks, so her voice must be amazing?” _(ignoring the sexist or looks-ist nature of the saying - just asking if you were told an axiom of this sort - not just in singing, but in other fields and occupations as well)_ _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6290))_ ---

In my neighborhood, there are several public boxes of dog poop bags for people to take and use when they walk their dogs. As I was walking past it today, a car pulled up with a big dog in the bag seat.
