ArchivesRe: "Name the Minpin" Contest
in reply to a message by Nanaea
I see, the interspersed fragments are falling into place. Under the circumstances, allow me to retract
the "Hanna-Barberra" remark, it was silly and undeservedly snide :P
"And, if I were to come across Jana/Sara*~/Whatever and one of my dogs, and both appeared to be
drowning... Guess which one I would save without a moment's hesitation and with a serenely clear
conscience?"
I once read a variation of this incredible quote somewhere years ago. I just cant remember
who uttered it...maybe I just dreamt of it. Believe it or not, this ejaculation has been in my repertoire for
years when confronting ingrates, much to their horror! Would be very grateful if you reminded me of its
parentage...unless you also also dream of it :)

I thought that was a Nanaea quote. :) Although, I have heard before the expression: "The more I see of people, the more I love my dog." And, of course, there are the immortal words of my favorite American writer, Mark Twain: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."

An also: Gratitude is the most noble of human emotions, which in practice is only displayed by dogs.
