    Why is a dog better than a man?



    paragraph-line.jpg

    Dogs don't feel threatened by your intelligence.

    Dogs are already in touch with their inner puppies.

    Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out.

    Dogs think you are a culinary genius.

    You can house train a dog.

    Dogs feel guilt when they've done something wrong.

    Middle-aged dogs don't feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner.

    Dogs mean it when they kiss you.

    Dogs don't care whether or not you shave your legs.

    Dogs obsess about you as much as you obsess about them.

    Has that dark hair started to grey yet NDG? :) My eldest says he wishes his hadnt been so dark as dark greys quickly. He has such lovely curls too - yet has them cut short now.

    No. When I met him, he had about 30 silver hairs (he was 18, then) and he still has about 30 silver hairs, that's it.

  • I am missing out.

    I want an OH I can run down in a public Internet forum, perchance to gain some "thanks" for how mean I could be about him :(

    :)

    Oy, how am I being mean? I thought I was being rather nice about OH!

    Tell me about it.....some threads on this board are like all out war.....and over what???? Is it testosterone, fuelled one upmanship??

    I don't realy work with men (apart from gay men) much so am unfamiliar with all this stuff...and if I do, I am the client/boss so don't ever see it to my face.

    Reminds me of the 2 Asian guys in 'Goodness Gracious me' who kept rearing up at each other.
