If Morgan Freeman walked up to you and said words, you would remember those words forever. Such is the power of the words of Morgan Freeman. If Thirsty Dave stumbled into you and said words, it would take a while to convince him that you didn’t have beer but he would eventually go away and find a watering hole of alcohol, a well of alcohol or a bar of beer or something. The neighbor’s dog keeps depositing deposits in our yard. We’ve had words about it but Jill Y is convinced the dog doesn’t even listen. For the past week, every time I see the neighbors, I talk to my shoes. This paints me in a certain light in their eyes which means they’ll probably take my new sign seriously:
If this doesn’t work, nothing will!
If that doesn’t work, we go to plan B and I dress up as Satan!
Can’t we just sacrifice the owners? The dogs are sort of innocent. If you have to poop, you have to poop!
I’m up for that and the Satan dude will take either as a sacrifice so it’s a win-win situation really!
I like your approach of talking to the dog first. Very respectful.
I get more respect from animals than from some of the so-called civilized folks I know!
“This paints me in a certain light in their eyes which means they’ll probably take my new sign seriously”
Perhaps even avoiding your street altogether
I could live with that and they could then live with their non-demonized dog!
