• Time: last week

Exchange:

A near homeless man walks into the bar with his dog
Stranger (also looks nearly homeless):	“Hey, man- that’s a really cool dog… …What kind is it?”
Near Homeless Man:	“It’s a canine”. He states this confidently. He clearly thinks “canine” is a specific breed, not a general, more-scientific term for dogs.
Stranger:	“Canine?…” He’s pretending that this jogs a special place in his memory. “Yeah… ” (now excited) “…I’ve heard of them”.
Near Homeless Man:	“Yeah…” (shakes head approvingly) ”…great dogs“
