Marcus,
I once had a British friend who had a dog. We were invited over one evening to try out my friend's sumptuous new lounge chair, and as soon as I sat in it and lounged backward, the dog, a sort of blondish, short haired thing with a square jaw, started to take a very active interest in me. I asked, what was her interest. Oh, my friend said. She wants to climb up and lounge with you. Invite her up. So I did. At my prompting the dog eagerly jumped up in my lab and spread herself out on my chest with her head under my chin, and after a few moments began licking lovingly at my jugular vein. "Oh", I said. "What a sweet dog. What kind of dog is it? " "We call them American Staffordshire Terriers." "Oh", I said. " I didn't know there was a Staffordshire in America." "There probably isn't," my friend said. "I believe you call them Pit Bulls." I lay very still on the lounger. From: Friam [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marcus G.
