Yelp Yelp Bark Bark

My Dear Fellow,

I thought it was appropriate that yesterday's picture of a bunny should be followed by a pair of greyhounds.

It was the high point of a day which wasn't arduous, but annoying. I went to a meeting in which I had ONE question to ask. Just one. I didn't get the chance because of two people who didn't stop to draw breath agreeing with each other:

MAN: So step 1 will allow us to progress to step 2.
WOMAN: It's just that I was worried you weren't doing step 2.
MAN: Oh yes, we're definitely doing step 2. But only after step 1.
WOMAN: Of course. You have to do step 1 first.
MAN: Yes, we have to do step 1 first for a number of reasons which we both agreed two minutes ago but I'll list them all for you again anyway in case you have a short term memory disorder like that bloke in "Memento".
WOMAN: That's good. I just needed to be sure you are doing step 2.
MAN: We're definitely doing step 2, but not at the same time as step 1.
WOMAN: Oh yes, that would be ridiculous. But you are doing step 2.
MAN: Step 2 will definitely follow step 1.

You think I'm exaggerating. I swear I'm really not. Thirty minutes of that. 

But never mind. They pay me no matter how much they waste my time so I can't complain too much. However, of much more interest is the title of this Blip. In my head, I don't hear it barked, but instead spoken in a monotone. I'm sure I get that from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon of a very determined dog that just goes around saying "Yelp. Yelp yelp. Bark bark," and then biting the @rse out of someone's trousers.

I have a feeling it was Mutley's dog. But that doesn't sound right. Can a dog own another dog? Who would do the walkies? Who would pick up the POOP?

And now that I think about it, didn't Hong Kong Phooey own a CAT that was smarter than him? But HE wore the clothes while the cat was all nude?

These things may seem trivial, but cartoon animals are far more important than meetings.  

Parsones

p.s. This is the funniest cartoon about dogs ever. Just so you know.
