Ah, but is the gent British?  What raised-on-tatters-and-mash-Brit would
spell "British" with two "t"s, even in jest?  Gram Salisbury wound have
given him what-for!
 
Frankly, I figure that "intended for" when applied by a human to another
living critter HAS to taken with a grain of salt (in the wound?).  After
all, what are YOU "intended for", or Tim "intended for" for that matter.
LOL!
 
Could it be that he is just being sardonic due to a slip during a running
