We believe dogs can make a huge difference in the lives of people. From assisting individuals as they go about their daily activities, helping in dangerous search and rescue operations, to bringing a smile to the face of someone with a quick smooch on the cheek.

Here are some of my favorite quotes…

“I’m Buck Melanoma, Moley Russel’s wart.”

“Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face…Good day to you madam.”

“I just wanna know how one becomes a janitor because Andrew here is very interested in pursuing a career in the custodial arts.”

“Could you describe the ruckus, sir?”

Maitre D’: You’re Abe Froman?
Ferris: That’s right, I’m Abe Froman.
Maitre D’: The Sausage King of Chicago?
Ferris: [caught off-guard] … Uh yeah, that’s me.
Maitre D’: Look, I’m very busy. Why don’t you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?
Ferris: Are you suggesting that I’m not who I say I am?
Maitre D’: I’m suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty.
Ferris: Snooty?
Maitre D’: Snotty.
Ferris: Snotty?

CENTERVILLE, Utah—John, a porcelain commode gunned down in an accidental shooting at a fast food restaurant’s bathroom, has died. His age was not immediately known.

The toilet was shattered by a bullet Jan. 12 when a man’s gun fell from its holster as he was pulling up his pants, police said. Police do not plan to file criminal charges in connection with the incident.

Christian Martinez, manager of the Carl’s Jr. where John was gunned down, held a memorial service Friday at the restaurant. He gave away bottles of John’s favorite toilet cleaner, Kaboom Bowl Blaster, to the eatery’s first 50 patrons.

A Bountiful flower shop provided a large floral arrangement.

“In all my years, I can say without a doubt that I have never delivered for a toilet,” said deliveryman Doug Graham, “but I thought it was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I got a kick out of it.”

Remnants of John hit and cut the gun owner’s arm, but he was not seriously injured.

Police blamed John’s death on the gun and style of holster the man was using.

“He was survived by the men’s urinal and wash sink,” said Martinez. “He left us way too soon.”

It just sets the wrong tone for the day. Unlike a jagged nail, loose boogar, or poorly placed nose hair a self-inflicted wedgie can be very frustrating. Thus my advice is that you should choose your undergarments wisely.
