Wife had a group of folks from church over tonight. At one point I slipped away to my office to check email, and see what my hound Louie was up to. Smile This woman (not one of my favorite people) passed by my office just in time to see me face to face talking to Lou and kissing him on his forehead an nose. Of course, not being a pet lover she just had to offer a comment....

"I can't believe you'd kiss that dog like that. That's just gross."

My response....

"I'd damn sure rather kiss this dog than kiss you."

I believe I offended her given her hasty departure. Oh well. I love my dog. Some people, not so much. Wink

My father was hosting a family party at our house, doing final cleanup of the front porch and steps, when one aunt showed up with her kids. He put the broom down, went to greet them, and on the way into the house, my aunt teased him, saying "What's that broom for?"

Being of Irish descent and quick-witted, he said, "It's for you to ride home on."

I would rather talk and play with dogs, than be around most people.

You did good.

I have said as much and worse over the years.

Some of the people did as the women in your encounter, others are still good friends.

Exactly!

You're a much quicker thinker than I would have been big deal and I like your style. I try to go with what I was told as a child: if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything.

I kick people out of my house that have derogatory comments or attitudes about my home or what I do in it. Someone else’s place, I’ll leave. You are a better man than me, I would have told her she needs to leave. Keep your comments to yourself next time. Dogs are loving creatures who are loyal to the death. I ask for kisses from my Mal all the time. She’d take a bullet for me.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Another one:

Churchill: Madam, if you were my wife I'd take it.

Good one.

I always hope that I, on the spur of the moment, can think of something that will piss them off enough that they will leave.

How did your wife react? I suspect she was not pleased.

Yeah, but how many jokes are there about having to choose between your wife and your dog?

My favorite is the one about locking both in the car trunk.

I would have let that womans comment go....I would have smiled, or siad something like..."Oh I like my dogs".

Too many years on the Cop job where I couldn't state my opinion, or true feelings.

Lately I have been doing the same thing; confronting assholes like that. I feel much better now.
