Lucky for her he’s not canine sociable.

Some people just don’t know what they want.

I wish there were a better way to politely show someone you do not want to chat with them

And so much for tolerance of other cultures.
Is there some significance to that armband she’s wearing?
fritzoid Premium Member about 14 years ago
NoBrandName, I think the stripes are just sewn onto her track suit; a decorative feature, nothing more. I think I’ve seen some like that.
It’s a good thing Charley’s not a bonobo, or he’d be looking at hard time instead of just a long walk.
BrianCrook about 14 years ago
On the contrary, Fritz, a bonobo would’ve made her quite happy.
