Mad enough to get my dogs!

[Enigma]

I was helping a coworker bag before I took over the register. While she was checking this elderly man out I was loading up his cart. I don't remember the entire conversation but it went something like this:

SC- I want to pay by check!
CW- You don't have to fill out the check if you don't want too, you know.
SC- It makes me so mad that they're electronic now
CW- Yeah, I under-
SC- MAKES ME WANT TO GET MY DOGS *threatening and imposing look*

CW and ME- *blink*

CW- Er...it makes me want to get all..four..of mine.... *akwardly hands him his check back*


Now everytime I see her I ask her how her "dogs" are doing.

Oh.... my.... goodness. *facepalm*

"Release the hounds, Smithers!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

"Release the hounds, Smithers!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

"Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth, and when they bark they shoot bees at you?"

[Posture Moll]

Whew, good thing she wasn't peeved enough to get her robotic Richard Simmons.

"Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth, and when they bark they shoot bees at you?"

Or you could just yell at the top of your lungs, "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war!"

Or you could just yell at the top of your lungs, "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war!"

We have a winner.

Or you could just yell at the top of your lungs, "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war!"

Dogs of hate. Without just cause we don't discriminate.

Makes me want to get my gun toting brother in on this!

I just realised what the dog-shaped things that shoot bee-shaped things in the Simpsons Game are. (in my defence I was playing the DS version without my glasses)

foolish old man


Everyone knows, paper always beats rock same as a bullet(s) beats dog(s)

My cat also used to beat dogs too, but she was one mean cat.

Epic. You have brought joy to my life.

Like this Mean Kitty?

[CancelMyService]

Sounds like someone was mad that it's not as easy to get away with check kiting as it used to be.*



*(Note for Non-Americans: A law was passed a few years back that made almost all check transactions electronic instead of waiting for the bank to process the physical paper check. This elminated the "float" that some people used like a (illegal) short term loan to write checks before the cash was deposited in the account. )

LOL! I love the Simpson's references and the Mean Kitty song mentioned in this thread.

As for releasing the hounds, my dog doesn't even wait to be released. He just charges unless we call him down first.

A couple of weeks ago, one of those guys who sells meat off the back of a truck came to our door. I was at work at the time, so my wife told me about this when I got home. My wife answers the door. The guy tells her the reason for his visit, but he doesn't stay very long. Our dog decides he doesn't like the guy, so he busts through the storm door (not the screen, but actually busts through the aluminum bottom panel of the storm door in an attempt to get at this guy). The only other time our dog acted that aggressive toward a visitor was when a Jehovah's Witness came to the door. At least he seems to know when we really don't want to be bothered with someone at the door. He doesn't seem to act aggressively when he realizes it's someone we've invited like guests, repairmen, pest control, or other such types we allow to enter the house. He doesn't even bark at the postal carriers or paperboy any more. It's just like he already knows who is allowed entry, and who will be told to go away.
