	Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

	The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

HOLY CARP!!! Posts: 10,401 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: April 18, 2005	This came from someone who was actually at a talk given about dogs. The ex's best friend fancies herself as an expert on all things dog and was answering questions from the attendees. Quote: A question was asked about what to do about a male dog that was feeling a "bit randy", if you catch my drift, without having to neuter the dog. The answer left the audience stunned. She said, "put on a rubber glove and jack the dog off."

You had to wonder, did they even do a simple spreadsheet, showing how many massages they'd have to do every week to break even? You have to figure it's well over 50 a week. How many dogs are there in Oak Park? What percent are going to get weekly massages?
