SMOKING HOT
Bitsy: Hi sweetie, What’s up? I’d like to sniff you but I just got clipped, dipped and shampooed.
Bruno: Another day, Bitsy, another day. See the new sign? What the hell!
Bitsy: The powers that be, Bruno, my love, want to keep that zone smoke free so we canine creatures can breathe better, so I’ve heard.
Bruno: Ha! Hundreds of cars pass by here, that toxic dump not twenty feet away spews its filthy fumes, and they want to keep this a breathe free zone?
Bitsy: One must, if one is forced, comply to the rules of the game. You’ve always been such a rebel, sweetie, but one of these days you are going to go up in smoke––metaphorically speaking––and then, sadly, I’ll have to find myself another furry friend to frolic time away with.
Bruno: Doggone it, Bitsy, you hit me where it hurts! Out with the butt, and in with the bone and let’s get it on in that smoke free zone!
Again, Darling Phyllis, you were not only first — but you somehow managed a RHYME in that last bit of "the play" . . . challenging me again. So I am forced to tell you a true story, just accomplished: In MY village of 26 parks, the powers-that-be - after a short 50 years - came up with the idea much like Liza’s cartoon. But: what to name it? And so there was a contest. And guess who won? The one that loves puns.:-) (so there, Phyllis) And so the official name on the same wooden signs that all parks are designated with, BUT this one says: (ta da) THE BARK DISTRICT !
Thanks to Liza again, I get to tell!!! But P.S. the homeowners whose beautiful homes back on this beautiful park are up in arms and ready to march on the village!!!
