It's what day?

My thought process:
"Hey, there's a dog two cars up ahead."
"That dog's pretty cute."
"Wonder what he's leaning on.  Can't see through the windshield of the car ahead."
"It... it looks like... flannel?"



This can't actually be legal.  I feel like I should report this to... somebody.  The ASPCA?  The DMV?  The Bad Idea Police?  And no, I wasn't driving when I took the picture.

OK, STORY TIME.

When I was in college, my mom and sister always got a week off in mid-February for winter break, so the family would usually drive up to visit me.  One year, my dad decides to take us out to a nice dinner at one of those Japanese cook-at-your-table restaurants, and the place is packed.  So my dad asks the waiter, "Is there something going on tonight?  It seems really busy for a Tuesday."

The dude chuckles a little bit, but my dad presses on.  "Is there some kind of event here?  A convention?"

The waiter stops laughing and looks kind of sympathetically at my mom.  "Uh... seriously?"

"Yes," says my dad.

"Um, sir, it's Valentine's Day."

"Whoops."

Have we let him forget it a single Valentine's Day since then?  We have not.

I think that dog might be famous. Seriously, I think I've seen it on youtube or Tosh.0 or something. Unless there are more than one dog/owner pairs that do that. Which I suppose is possible especially in Florida.

Daniel Tosh DID go to UCF, though I don't know how long ago that was... And, yeah, it's Florida. The US is like a box of Cracker Jacks: all the nuts tend to fall to the bottom.
