Recent conversation with Brenda:

Me: I just got a text from a Facebook friend that was funny and cruel at the same time.

Brenda: Do I want to hear this?

Me: He saw a "Missing Dog" poster, called the number and only barked.

Brenda: (hiding a grin) That's awful. How do you respond to something like that?

Me: Well, after I finish a guilty chuckle, I'm gonna unfriend him. Bad Dog!

Brenda: I hope he whimpers.
