There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

A man rescues a dog trapped on a sinking ship. Then he goes back to...

I know somebody who will be sleeping in the dog house, and it won't be the dog!! :rotf:

Ya know....I read that story today.  I don't think his wife needed saving.  The dog couldn't swim.  I think he did the right thing.

True, and it was like the boat was sinking.  They had run aground.

Exactly.  She had a lifejacket on.   :thatsright:  If biersmythe and I were on a boat with Angus, and the same happened, I would expect him to get Angus to safety first.

Had that actually happen while hoisting a couple off their sinking boat.  We lowered the basket and they stuck the dog in first.  People can be funny when it comes to their pets.  Another crew had a husband grab the basket and climb in leaving his wife in the water.  Our Commanding Officer had a talk with the guy when they landed back at the base. Don't know what he said to him but, we got a Congressional complaint a few weeks later.

Well naturally you rescue the dog first, when the dog gets rescued he quits whining.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

A dog is man's best friend.....everything else comes in in second place.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

The dog had a life jacket on too. Complete with emergency strobe light. Kinda wondering if hers had an emergency strobe light too.

If not, his ass is sleeping in the dog house for awhile.  :rotf:

I would want my imaginary boyfriend to grab our imaginary dog first as well. I know enough to hold unto something or tread water...

Probably not far from the truth. :o :bolt: :runaway:
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
