It’s even worse here in California. I taught our puppy to play dead by pointing my finger at him and saying “BANG!”
When I showed his trick off at the local dog park, I just knew some idiot would complain.
Sure enough, the very first time I showed little Cody off doing his new trick, some middle aged guy got his panties all bunched up and twisted — “Don’t you know that’s not appropriate, not PC?” he asked.
I gave him a steely look of disdain and replied “That is EXACTLY why I taught him that.”
I suppose that's better than pointing your finger at him and saying "BANG!"
Then saying "Damn, it didn't work...grumble grumble grumble..."
Right turn Clyde...
