I had a funny conversation at work today. About women and PMS. Their sudden changes in personality. A friend was complaining about a woman who seemed to vent her anger unnecessarily. "She should take her anger out on other things, like a punching bag," my friend said. "Or a cat," I replied. The conversation quickly detoured into the familiar 'cats or dogs' debate. My friend, who insists on never having children, started listing reasons why dogs were better than kids.
- Dogs listen. A rolled up newspaper always does the trick
- You don't have to buy them clothes every six months
- They don't cry when hungry
- You can smack a dog and not be jailed
- Forget expensive formula, dog food is way cheaper, he'll probably even be content with your leftovers
- You don't have to put your puppy through college
- You can bury a dog in the backyard. No questions asked
- Dogs entering teenage years are usually neutered
- If that doesn't do the trick, you can sell their babies
