Great Moments in Happiness

In 1972, scientists at Extremely Important University discovered a sentence that when spoken aloud could induce unbearable levels of bliss in dogs. Containing the words “treat,” “walk,” “out,” “steak,” “car,” “xylophone,” and “squirrel,” the sentence is so overpowering that its only copy has been locked in a steel vault and all involved have been sworn to secrecy.

    I need to see the xylophone effect in person.

    Is it locked up with the Coca-Cola recipe?

      No it’s in the vault with the Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. It’s finger licking good!!

    Before she moved away, Grogu had a best friend named Vonnie who was a parson russel terrier. Her name was his favorite word. He hated harnesses with a burning passion when he was a puppy and would do anything to wriggle out of them, but if I said, “We’re going to go see Vonnie!” he would stand absolutely still and let me harness him up. Then he would pant and wiggle all the way to her apartment. On the way home, he would go limp with contentment. I keep that magic name in a mental back pocket knowing that if I ever need his attention in an emergency, all I have to say is “Vonnie”. It’s not something I could do lightly, because I don’t want to toy with his emotions. Also because he’s smart enough that it would only work once, after which he would know me for a dirty liar.
