From the book by the great Soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakov comes the story of a stray dog who is operated on by a doctor, given a human's testes with epididymus and seminal cords, and a new hypophysis. The dog survives the operation and begins to experience some radical transformations. I quote from the doctor's journal:
The heel of the foot is lengthening. Also toes. Claws.
Repeated systematic toilet training. Servants are utterly depressed.
But note must be made of the creature's quick understanding. Situation is rapidly improving.
January 11. He has completely accepted the trousers. Spoke a long, gay phrase: "Let's have a smoke, or I'll give you a poke."

SPEAKING OF DOGS:
And in Romanian news...
Men, I heard these on the radio this morning and laughed like crazy:
Romanian man accidently cuts off his wee wee. A romanian man reportedly ran outside in his backyard in his underwear one evening recently "to kill a chicken" that was making noise and bothering him. Apparently he grabbed the chicken by the neck, and when he went to chop its head off he accidently cut off his wandering wee wee instead. To top it all off, the man, who was in a state of shock, reached to grab his now detached ding dong, only to find that his pet dog, his accomplice in the attempted chicken murder, had eaten it! Man, that's some sucky luck. (Maybe he should have opted to choke the chicken rather than chopping its head off - shoot did I say that out loud?)
And in more Romanian news...
An entire small Romanian village evacuated recently due to an UFO scare. The Romanian villagers saw bright colorful lights in the sky about a mile or so away, and fearful of an alien invasion (as had been rumored to have ocurred there before) the whole village up and left. Police came to determine what sort of extra-terrestrials they might find, only to discover that it was an outdoor discotheque in a nearby village, and the lights were simply the disco lights shining up in the sky.
Pardon my French, but the hell is wrong with the Romanians?
-Sleuth
Is this where poke and a push originated?
-Sleuthacious
No, I have all the rights to "the poke and the push." But Bulgakov was on the right track.
