People thinking that they get away with telling lies about what I actually said as if it wouldn't get back to me.

No, actually, that's not funny. ;)

... I always correct them.

Why, just the other day, I heard someone say you weren't "fit to lie down with dogs."

I, of course, defended you.

I said you were.

What I mean is: Sometimes you have to 'laugh it off'. Nothing in this world is so serious that you can't laugh in the face of lies.

I agree. The person involved only managed to dig the hole they currently are in a little deeper. It sure isn't going to be biting me in the ass.

Actually... If you've ever been part of a "puppy pile" then you know the derogatory implications of that saying are misleading. For one thing, dogs are completely honest about how they feel...about you, about their feelings, about everything. You always know where you stand with dogs. ...Lying there, cuddled up with fiercely loyal, openly affectionate friends who don't give a rat's ass about politics or appearances can be amazing.

You just don't get that kind of love and acceptance from interacting with most humans. And dogs do it all without uttering a word. :D

Wow, that's stupid on a whole new scale. If there were *anyone* I were going to lie about, it sure wouldn't be either of you because you WILL hear about it and there WILL be a brisk response. However, one of J's favorite sayings is, "Stupidity *should* be painful!" Just think of yourself as putting Darwin's principles to work in a focused way. :-)

Stupid can be painful despair_bear October 2 2009, 17:22:34 UTC

In my professional opinion, stupid is often painful....Or fatal. Now I am going back to finish cleaning the blood out of my ambulance........

Oh yes, you folks are the ultimate witness to Darwin in action. The frustration comes when the pain doesn't attend upon the stupidity like it should...then the temptation is there to help it along a little bit!
