The important thing to remember about dog handling is that you
must always keep your head down before addressing the ball.
The ball, as some would have it, is man’s best friend.
But I say best friends will come and go but the price of a frozen
dinner is easily achieved by even the biggest of underachievers.
Take my cousin Ralph, for instance;
Here is a man who would not give you the time of day even if he
could tell time.
One
time, I found him strolling aimlessly through the used car lot
located over on that street in town.
I said to him, “Jim, have you considered that your actions affect
the reaction of so many marketing campaigns in these United States?”
As usual, he just ignored me and continued to look for loose
squirrels carrying shoelaces.
For what is a man if he refuses to lace his shoes?
Isn’t the essence of all mankind summed up into the amount of which
one’s feet are bound and what type of material binds them?
I say sandals are for hippies and at least squirrels have enough
sense to gather shoelaces without being under constant supervision.
What would it take to provide small shoes for all squirrels you ask?
Well, other than being startled by a fairly profound question I
would have to venture a guess of an equal distance from the center
to both ends.
For the end often justifies the means for any given situation.
And the end is often a topic of great fear and trepidation for those
inclined to think that far ahead.
What is to come and
where will I find peace of mind when no one is left behind to lend
an ear to bend or a shoulder to lean on?
And will the Thrifty Mart still stock my favorite beef jerky?
Will Chevrolet still have a new production model under production if
no one is left to produce it for?
And will anyone be left to produce it anyway?
These questions are better left unanswered because it makes you look
like a worrywart and no one other than wart removal companies are
into warts these days.
So just go with the flow and remember what my grand daddy always
told me.
Because at the gas station you won’t find anyone to pump your gas
anymore but you will find plenty of people waiting to take your
money. |
