16. I thought is was funny

I've owned dogs my entire adult life and loved every one dearly. I have often said that I believe dogs are the most noble creatures on the planet. Two months ago, one of our three current dogs went blind from cataracts caused by diabetes, and there really wasn't any discussion that of course we would spend the $4000 for cataract surgery so she could see again, even though money is tight, because she's part of the family.

But my wife is a Filipino, so I have long since reconciled my love of dogs with the fact that they are consumed in some cultures. I understand that some people are highly offended by my sincere love of cow meat.

Yes, it was a very edgy joke, and it made me laugh because it was so unexpected, but also because it was pretty much like the Prez giving Repugs the finger.
