Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 30, 2009

Hmm, I never thought about it before….

Where’s that good-for-nothing sloop? http://tinyurl.com/tailwag

Sorry, Science Buddies:the requirements are too steep. I don’t have all that equipment. I’ll just observe!

My equipment favors the left when I wag it.

Wow. Three lbs of shortening for 59 cents. That’s cheap.

painedsmile: Thanks for doing the donkey work.

Hmm. My dog has a small stubby tail.

Well, it said “Adult Supervision” as a safety requirement, so that screws up my whole experiment right there.

watch 40 seconds of results of a tale-wagging study http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wda3id9vbCk

Interesting site, painedsmile (and Teresa). “Electroconvulsive Shock Therapy” sounds like a good idea. It has cured several murderers here in Florida. Maybe it could cure Ponzi Schemers, too.

Sumo - thats what you get for buying your dog at a wholesale outlet. You should have got him retailed.

That looks like an executive from Cerberus (who used to run Chrysler).

@diceR: Thanks for the link!

Is there any shortening left, or did itisme buy it all?

painedSMURF: No time for donkeywork. I’m Teresa’s gondolier now. (See her blog).

By the way, that’s a peppermint candy cigarette. It keeps my breath minty fresh.

Well…crap! One more thing to add to my “to do” list!! Check a dog’s ass!!

I’m intrigued by the bloke on the left. He has a speech balloon which contains what is either a graph of my football career or a wunny babbit. Discuss.

Plight - no, it’s a top-down view of a dog’s tail with the wag angle being mesasured.

No. My dog only has one a$$ not a bias.
