Why?

Mental retardation, the act of being retarded is not a slur or a swear, it's the correct term. Everyone throws the word around so you think it's a bad word, but it is indeed the proper name. Just like "spastic".

The preferred term is actually "developmentally disabled." But don't let sensitivity get in the way of your fun.
 
This is common for animals. Horses are the same way, though their noses are a bit harder to cover ;)

5 minutes on google could have told you the same thing.

He wasn't having fun. He was just saying that retardation developed into an offensive term but is still relevent.
Unless he lives a very dull life? :eek:
 
Maybe your friend is retarded and her pet is really smart. Ever considered that?

For washing a dog? :confused:
One of our dogs used to get into small fits if water went down her nose so during a shower (easier than baths :p) we would have to put a hand over her nose when rinsing the shampoo off. I would have rather done that than have her coughing and weezing afterwards.

It was supposed to be funny ... clearly lost on many, but I laughed when I wrote it so ... success!
 
You only think she's looking.

Actually, like all men, she is enjoying the results of her labours.

Just imagine 300 times your sense of smell. Awesome!!
 
I think my dog is, too. She farts and turns around and looks at her butt like someone else did it, all surprised and shocked and *****.
Reminded me of my childhood dog. My cousin and I would be in the pickup with the dog. He would fart. So nasty that you would need to roll down the windows or stop and open the door. My dog would look around like one of us did it. His silent ones were killers. :eek:

Luckily, this only happened on rare occasions.
 
Ah, lookout, this brings up yet another joke in my arsenal.

A woman goes to her boyfriends’ parent’s house for dinner.

This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous.

They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making tears come to her eyes and lets out a dainty fart.

It wasn’t loud but everyone at the table heard the poof. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend’s father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the woman’s feet and said in a rather stern voice, "Skippy".

A couple of minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn’t even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, "Dammit Skippy!’

Once again the woman smiled and thought, "Yes".

A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn’t ever think about it. She let rip a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing.

Once again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, "Dammit Skippy, get away from her before she shites on you!"
