"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
Burglar breaks into a house. While gathering valuables, he hears, "Jesus is coming." A few minutes later, he hears the same voice. The third time, he tracks down the voice. It is a parrot.
"Why do you keep saying, 'Jesus is coming'?"
"Because it's true. My name is Oven."
"What sort of person names a parrot 'Oven'?"
"The sort of person who names their Rottweiler 'Jesus'."
Me: I don't want to take away dog owners' rights. But we need to do something about Rottweilers.
You: So what do you propose?
Me: I just think that there should be some sort of training or restrictions on owning an attack dog.
You: Wait. What's an "attack dog?"
Me: You know what I mean. Like military dogs.
You: Huh? Rottweilers aren't military dogs. In fact "military dogs" isn't a thing. You mean like German Shepherds?
Me: Don't be ridiculous. Nobody's trying to take away your German Shepherds. But civilians shouldn't own fighting dogs.
You: I have no idea what dogs you're talking about now.
Me: You're being both picky and obtuse. You know I mean hounds.
You: Say what?
Me: OK, maybe not actually ::air quotes:: hounds ::air quotes::. Maybe I have the terminology wrong. I'm not obsessed with vicious dogs like you. But we can identify kinds of dogs that civilians just don't need to own.
