Pinch Me

When I was a kid growing up in La Belle Province, if you did not wear green on St. Patrick's Day, your peers were allowed to pinch you hard. It was an English custom that I did not get.

I did not wear green today, and no one pinched me. When I mentioned the pinching to co-workers, they did not get it.

If I was more brazen, I would have pinched the fellow below for being so cute in his kilt.

What we all want to know, Woodsy, is why you didn't wear green on St. Paddy's Day?

Isn't it obvious, IO?

Oh. So that's why some drunk guy in a goofy green hat peed on my den's doorstep yesterday afternoon. It was not the kind of rainbow that has a pot of gold at the end.

Actually, any kind of pot at all would have improved things. That and maybe some place less, ummm, public and doorsteppy...

IO, 4D, I even wore my shortest skirt!

Coyote, ... and did you reclaim your doorstep?

Kim, "Manly, yes, but I like it too."

Marking territory is what us coyotes do best ma'am. Discretely...
