Your penis tastes like a fishy snatch. You feeding me an old wet dog?
My wife divorced me after one wet dog too many.

Get the Old Wet Dogmug. A dog (usually a small breed) that was owned by an old lady and was spoiled because she treated it like a baby. Old lady dogs tend to be very demanding of your attention, and will jump into your lap whenever you sit down. Quite often they hate males, but love females. Can be very sweet if broken of 'granchild-like' expectations. Do not get along well with other animals, and become jealous very easily. May be accustomed to riding in a stroller and being dressed up in cute outfits. They like to bounce and prance around like bunnies in order to get attention. Also, they'll intentionally shake to get your attention.

Get the old sea dogmug. Dog mannequins located in many Old Navy stores. Usually placed in front of a group of human mannequins. Unbeknownst to most people, The Great and Powerful Old Navy Dog Mannequin is our Holy Lord and Creator in disguise, pushed aside by other, more prevalent religions that favor humans more than animals. This shall all end soon. The Dog will Rise. The Dog will Rule.
