Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: How was your day?
Me: It was going so well until I got chased by a police dog.

Me: I'm not sure. Maybe it was the Beggin' Strips t-shirt I was wearing.
Brenda: I told you that shirt was ridiculous.
Me: Whatever. But as a Public Service Announcement, if you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then onto a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. Apparently, they're trained for that.
