Some years back, that clever cartoonist of the Far Side defined what I like to call the “Larson’s Dog Syndrome.” Here is a transcription of the dialog in the bubbles over the characters heads:
What we say to dogs: “Okay Ginger! I’ve had it! You stay out of the garbage! Understand Ginger? Stay out of the garbage or else!”
What they hear: “blah blah Ginger blah blah blah blah blah Ginger blah blah blah blah blah blah”
Which is why this past Sunday’s artistic offering from UserFriendly based upon the original so hilarious … if the whole SCO/*nix saga weren’t so daggumed pathetic.
