I know just how he feels.
I once had an embarrassing hangnail and missed work for three weeks. The humiliation was just too much.
It was obvious to me that Dog Gone had put in at least two minutes in composing that thread, and by my watch it lasted about 180 seconds before it was unceremoniously deleted.
People were enthusiastic about that thread. Many people couldn't wait to register their predictions about how long it would last before it was deleted, while others were delving into the complex thought processes that dogs must have in deciding to cheat on their masters.
It's a shame. A crying shame.
