#49: A change in strategy

Vagabond

on Sept. 14, 2006

The guys next door to me have this tendency to walk their dogs. Now, I know it may seem strange, but apparently, dogs need to go outdoors in order to use the bathroom. Why they can't just use a box like a cat or a toilet like a person (or a really smart cat), I really don't know. Maybe they get off on exhibitionism or something.

The main problem is, they have this tendency to just take the talk out about 15 steps away from their doorway, then let the dog go right at it. So in addition to dodging rain, trees, and Jehovah's Witnesses on my mad dash to the bus stop every morning, I have to watch out for the ever elusive dog pie. So I posted a message on the apartment bulletin board that said, "PICK UP YOUR DOG'S SHIT OR I WILL DO TO YOU WHAT BOB BARKER DID TO YOUR GODDAMN DOG."



… I think this may be the only time in history where a threat of an old man with sharp scissors was ever taken seriously.
