    You have to admire such dogged determination.

    
    
    Clearly the board's lack of action on the issue indicates that 
    
    their bark is worse than their bite.

    It just goes to show that a little bull goes a long way.

    I think it's the pits.

That reminds me of a song by... what's his name?

Joe Cocker?

Reminds me of that *actual* newspaper article title that came out
hilariously ambiguous:

	POLICE HELP DOG BITE VICTIM

    Do you know what they call a Porta-Potty Remover?

     Hmmmm, let's see....
    
     The council discusses a certain dog.....
     Time passes....
     The Joy_of_lex lexers [M|F] make jokes about the situation.....
    
     Is this an example of .....

    You never know what you'll find when you Pekinese notes!

    Well, okay: time for an anecdote.
    
    Seems there was this man who came to a talent agency, wanting somebody
    to handle his act.
    
    The agent said, "What kind of an act is it?"
    
    "A talking dog," said the man.
    
    "Okay, let's see what he does."
    
    The man brings in the dog, Oscar.  He sais, "What do you find on
    the top of the house?"
    
    Oscar responds, "Roof!"
    
    The man says, "How does sandpaper feel?"
    
    The dog says "Rough!"
    
    The man says, "Why was the greatest baseball player of all time?"
    
    The dog says, "R-r-r-Ruth!"
    
    The talent agent looks at the man and says, "That's got to be the
    worst act I've ever seen.  Get trhe #@$%$#%$# out of here!"
    
    The man's shoulders slump.  He turns and starts to leave.  As he
    does so, the dog says, "Maybe if I'd said Ted Williams ...."

    And as a final note.....
    
    
    I pitt-e those who condone the terrier-izing of innocent people....

    SF writer Philip Jos� Farmer, under the name Jonathan Swift
    Somers, wrote a story whose title was
    
    "The Doge Whose Barque Was Worse Than His Bight"

    Of course, there's also Isaac Azimov's entry:

    It should be noted that Isaac Asimov once wrote a story with the
    title "Spell My Name With an S" (a.k.a. "S as in Zebatinsky").

    a unique combination of language barriers and various terriers:
    
    
    Two dogs were walking down the street.  One was a silky terrier,
    one a french poodle.  The terrier turned to the poodle and asked
    what his name was.  The poodle replied, "Fido, and what's yours?"
    The terrier's name was also Fido.  The poodle asked, "how do you
    spell it?"  The terrier, taken aback, said, "Why, F-I-D-O, of course.
    How do you spell it?" The response - "P-H-A-I-L-L-E-D-E-A-U-X."
    
    

    
    
    This topic has really gone to the dogs.
    
    

    I'm surprised the participants' voices haven't gone husky and
    rough since they were all barking up this tree.
