Leg Humping

Not only is it summer, but it's also Memorial Day, and that means tons of picnics and BBQs and other large gatherings to which dogs are invited. And guess what happens when dogs are invited to events? They hump legs, that's what happens. No fucking manners at all. Like seriously, were you raised in a barn (or a strip club)? I know they're animals, but they could at least stay away from your cousin's husband's sister's calves.
And of all things to hump, why legs, you ask? Well, little known to most, dogs were originally bred as a lower leg cover, because long ago no one could make pants that went beyond the knee. Tailors just weren't that skilled. "Dog" is of the Greek root "dogus" which means "thing that keeps my scandalously exposed legs hidden from the perverted, gawking public." And so, as much I love to judge and scold animals for their inappropriate behaviors, this summer while out at parks and picnics, if your Achilles tendon is suddenly violated by a canine, please cut them some slack; they can't help it.

  2. Excellent post, Walter. This leads on to another fact that isn't so well known.

    As you say, dogs were used to cover the lower legs, but like all things, they get tired at some point. When this happened, the dogs would slip down the legs. This is why we often refer to our feet as our dogs.

  12. Firstly, you must exercise; without proper workout, you can bid goodbye to your dream of having a flat tummy.
    I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find that "quick fix" or magic solution that would have allowed me
    to drop the desired pounds and have the perfect body.
    This can be achieved by adding more weight, increasing the number of repetitions, or by adding on additional sets.

  14. It is considered to the start of the Arab
    Spring and would go a long way in forcing the politicians to
    effectively govern the country. Yet while viewers will inevitably make comparisons
    between Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric, they have
    very styles, as Diane Sawyer has more of a reputation for a 'harder' journalistic style.
    These websites can be dedicated to particular type of news like a few websites are dedicated to
    entertainment narovide the people with current world news but they face the barrier of space and time.
