A lesson and an issue

I am a good looking, friendly, highly intelligent, sophisticated, inventive and generally all around wonderful person. Fully worthy of respect if not outright awe.

I have a dog.

God has a sense of humor. That is a very fortunate thing.

The dog makes sure I know that I am loved but the rest of that stuff is... well... what I shovel (he is a BIG dog) up in the back yard every day.

A dog will love you pretty much no matter how big of a jerk you are. He may laugh his furry ass off at your attempts to impress him but in the end he will come and lick your face and lay on your feet. Love is a clean (from a dog's viewpoint) face and warm feet. I don't know that I can really disagree. A warm dog does a lot to ease lots of things. You just sit there and pet the dog and your mind zones out and the problems just aren't there. Warm feet or warm lap... it's all good.

Supposedly, according to the dog training lady, if a dog licks your chin that is a mark of respect.

I have a beard.

Crumbs happen.

Personally, I think the dog is just looking for a treat. Ok with me.

The issue... ah yes... did you ever note that dogs don't have nose hairs. Men get them. Not enough to wax out into a miniature handlebar nose-stash, just enough to be ugly. We also very often lose hair at the same time on the top of our head.
Now... what genetic decision was made that said dogs get to keep a full head of hair and don't have nose hair but men do?
This should be looked into when genetic sequencing get's easy to do. I mean... really... what is the point? We won't even go into the ear hair thing.

There are at least a couple genes in the human genome that could stand some "adjustment".

Actually, speaking from my business travel days, there is an entire pool of genes, generally located below the Mason-Dixon line that really could use some "adjustment". Here I'm thinking a "Darwin Award" level of adjustment.

I keep hearing that God doesn't make mistakes... however... I definitely plan to ask about the nose hair issue. I mean, really... what was the idea there?

I am a more humble person than before, just not due to any lengthy introspection or intelligent self assessment.

I have a dog.

My dog loves me. I'm doing just fine with his opinion, thank you very much.
