Damn Ninjas

I was on the phone with my best friend today and she was telling me a story about a man pepper-spraying her dogs. He was reading the water meter at the house next door and her two dogs, one of which is a puppy, were barking from behind a sturdy fence. I guess this guy was new to the job because he wasn't aware that this is something dogs just do. Apparently, he was scared for his life(his words to the police) so he sprayed the dogs. My friend then had to take them to the vet(luckily she works there or it would have been expensive) where they had to be washed and fixed up. Their entire faces were swollen. My friend is currently trying to get this man fired. Anyway, at some point during the story her phone hangs up on me. I'm laying in bed with Al, (I think thats what I was calling him on this blog) the boy I was with all summer. He precedes to tell me this story:

A friend of his was sitting at her friends house in Atlanta. The home owner had stepped out to run to the store. Her dog was in the backyard which was enclosed by a fence. Out of nowhere a man in a mask carrying a ninja sword jumps the fence, and cuts the dog's head off with his weapon. Al's friend then had to call her friend and tell her that a ninja had just cut her dog's head off.....

Yup. That's all folks.

i realize that's WAY more sad than funny - but seriously? i can't help but laugh. ninja mask? jumped the fence? WTF.

(also, glad to hear the pups are okay after the pepper spray incident.)

Hold on while I go into the various problems I've had with this post.

1) It being the meter reader's first day on the job has nothing to do with him knowing that dogs bark. Unless he is mentally handicapped, the proper punishment for this guy is to strap him to a chair and pepper-spray him three times a day.

2) That was considerate of the friend to call the house owner, but since the man had a lethal weapon in his hand, the police would've been much more sensible. This man should also be strapped to chair, and with his own sword have the drawing of a dog carved into his face.

Look up Barenaked Ladies kid's album and there's a wonderfully fitting story about Ninjas. They're deadly and silent and also unspeakably violent.

I sympathize with your friend and especially those poor dogs. Im pretty sure I would sue that guy and get him fired. If that didnt work, I would probably fight him...although that should always be a last resort...which I think is a code of the ninja. Im sorry but "Al" is probably (99% chance) lying. There is no way so random dude with a ninja mask would come and chop some dogs head off. Thats absurd.
Or perhaps that was an odd joke.
I dunno if so I dont get it

Sure, ditch the blog for more sex.

I see how you are.

Since you're a teacher could you read my post about crappy students and give me any feedback from your own experiences? I'd appreciate it.

In the year 2011, I am breaking up with myself. I will be journaling my journey in the hopes of sticking to my plan of losing all of the bad habits I have acquired over the years. This is NOT a New Year's Resolution but an official parting of ways from the woman I have become and an attempt to get back to the woman I truly am... Wish me luck.
