Repeat of a fabled dog story
- Dear Ann 'Landers: In August
1988, you printed a bit of comic
, material that had been sent to you by
.a friend in ^Washington, D.C. You
.said, “The author is unknown;* The
piece I refer to was about a dog
' named Sex.
I am the person who wrote it. Will
■you kindly acknowledge this in your
column?
Sincerely yours...
; — Morty Storm, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Dear Morty Storm: It is my plea-
sure to give credit where it is due.
The piece was hilarious. I’m sure my
readers who already have seen it will
enjoy it again. Those who haven't are
in for a big laugh. Here it is:
A Dog Named Sex
Everybody who has a dog calls him
‘“Rover” or “Boy.” I call mine “Sex."
He’s a great pal but he has caused me
a great deal of embarrassment.
When I went to City Hall to renew
his dog license, I told the clerk I
would like a license for Sex. He said,
“I’d like one, too!” Then I siyd, “But
rthis is a dog.” He said he didn’t care
what she looked like. Then I said,
“You don’t understand, I’ve had Sex
since I was 9 years old.” He winked
and said, “You must have been quite
a kid."
When I got married and went on
my honeymoon, I took the dog with
me. I told the motel clerk that I want-
ed a room for my wife and me and a
-special room for Sex.
- He said, “You don’t need a special
room. As long as you pay your bill
we don’t care what you do.” I said.
Look, you don’t seem to understand,
.Sex keeps me awake at night.” The
clerk said, “Funny -1 have the same
problem.”
* One day I entered Sex in a contest,
but before the competition began, the
dog ran away. Another contestant
asked me why I was just standing
there, looking disappointed. I told
him I had planned to have Sex in the
contest. He told me I should have
sold my own tickets. “But you don’t
understand,” Laaid, “I had hoped to
have Sex on TV.” He said, “Now that
cable is all over the place it’s no big
deal anymore.”
When my wife and I separated, we
went to court to fight for custody of
the dog. I said, “Your Honor, I had.
Sex before I was married.” The judge
said, “This courtroom isn’t a confes-
sional. Stick to the case, please.”
Then I told him after I was married,
Sex left me. He said that’s not unusu-
al. It happens to a lot of people.
Last night Sex ran off again. I spent
hours looking around town for him. A
cop came over to me and asked,
“What are you doing in this alley at 4
o’clock in the morning?” I told him
that I was looking for Sex. My case
comes up Friday.
Dear Ann Landers: Would you
mind printing one more letter to give
readers an idea of how much a billion
is? I though^ I knew until I read this
piece in the Farmer’s Almanac:
If a company had started in busi-
ness in the year A.D. 1 with $1 bil-
lion in capital and lost $1,000 each
day, it would still be in business
today, almost 2,000 years later. That
company would not go broke for
another 800 years. That is just one
billion. The savings and loan bailout
is going to cost taxpayers $160 bil-
lion. Can you believe it?
— A. Johnson, Tampa
Dear A J.: Yes, I can believe it. But
that’s only the latest projection, which
may be on the conservative side.
Have a good day. If possible.
