Oh, come on!! What a pirate you have lurking around in your list!
Travis Ruetenik, Honolulu, HI needs to be neutered for stealing his #1 entry
from Leno! "American Fido" was a skit that Leno did weeks ago! |
The List Vet responds: | I've misplaced Travis's reply, but it was along the lines of "I don't watch Leno. He should apologize to me." Besides, The List Vet knows all too well that it is quite possible for more than one great comedic mind to come up with the same joke independently. Verdict: Travis's nads are safe. |

Okay, we give up. What's an AIBO? (Might need to know the next time we get over our limit in Shih Tzu rescues!) |

Pet Personal Ads |
They said: |
It seems to me that this week's topic (Personals Ads) was a
disaster. (I didn't submit anything for it, so no sour
grapes here.)
It was très long on words and très short on laughs -- a
real chore to slog through. Less is more, especially when
it's funny.
Of course, maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, in
which case I can safely be ignored. But I suspect I'm not
alone.
|
The List Vet responds: | This was a departure from our usual list format, true, but I found the submissions to be extremely clever. And FWIW, we got no other feedback from that list, good or bad. |

Absolutely one of your best! 'specially since I am both a dog owner
(Labradors, actually) AND a cat owner (ASH). Oh yeah, and a bird owner, fish
owner, rabbit owner (you get my drift!).
Keep it up! |

Hey Chris
I've emailed you twice in the past to gain your permission to use
your lists in our quarterly dog obedience club newsletter.
I hope to include this list in our August edition of the newsletter
(of course you will be duly credited and the website address
included). |

The number one about the Guineau Pig is crude and gross. I usually
enjoy reading this, but I saw nothing funny about this. Try again.
|
The List Vet responds: | This is a case of mistaken intention! I took the joke to be anti-animal testing, not an endoresment of cruelty to animals, which I abhor. |
