Photos revealing truths and lies
THE DOG
I wondered how to tell a man hugging his beloved huge dog that I was, to put it politely, not a pet person. Last time I decided not to reply to a man who was hidden behind a dog, which was guarding him against intruders.
This time I managed to devise a reply which was jokey:
Me: I notice that you are hiding behind a large dog almost as tall as you are. I am petite and not interested in any kind of threesome, certainly not sharing a bed with a dog that size. Or any size.
Him: That is not my dog. It's a neighbour's dog. I was just taking it for a walk when they were on holiday. I have no pets. I would love to meet you.***
Me: If you show yourself hugging a dog, I might reasonably assume that you are a dog-lover and that the pet is yours. And if you are cuddling a cat, I would assume that you like cats and own one, not that you have picked up a passing cat to decorate the photograph, using moggie merely as a fig leaf. I do admit that if I put up a picture of myself riding a camel in the desert, I would expect you to assume that I was on holiday. And not afraid of heights. I would not expect you to think that my second second home was a tent, nor that I drove a small dromedary. But that is because I give my address as a busy city, where the only camel is parked in the local zoo. *** On the other hand somebody found my second entry on this site.
Him: I have found a second entry for you. It would appear that since you arranged to meet me, you have abandoned your religion to become an atheist.
