11-52 "if the mug fits..."
Eva: Bru, what do you think of these new mugs?
Bruno: I thought they were for the humans.
Eva: I'm not so sure about that. The text seems to fit us both perfectly.
Bruno: Nothing is fitting about mine.
Eva: Seriously? Do you even know what namaste means?
Bruno: Of course I do. Do you think that I'm a troglodyte?
Eva: Honestly... yes, I kind of do. But how can that mug not fit you? You love to sleep in and chill?
Bruno: Well, that's not the true meaning of namaste. But even allowing for that, the cultural misappropriation of the term and the fake contraction, it still doesn't fit. That's why I assumed it was for the humans.
Eva: Well, I never took you for that much of a scholar of languages. I guess I underestimated you.
Bruno: I accept your apology.
Eva: Oh, I never apologized. I make that a principle of mine to never admit wrongdoing. But, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten as to why the text doesn't fit.
Bruno: It truly has nothing to do with the text. I can't even read. I simply meant that it doesn't fit because I can't get my snout all of the way in to eat the food in the bottom two thirds of the mug.

A couple of weeks ago I saw these mugs at a Chapters Indigo bookstore and thought they were great, both for the humans and as a prop for a dog photo. But, I restrained and didn't buy them. When I told my wife about the mugs she went back that afternoon to pick them up. They are now our breakfast mugs, but today they were filled with breakfast kibble for Bruno's photo project. I never knew his snout was so flexible to produce that many wrinkles.
