Dear Ferret Folks- Yesterday the Chinese Shar Pei was given as an example of an "oriental" dog with slanted eyes. Based on all available evidence, the Shar Pei does not HAVE eyes, just brown furry wrinkles where the eyes should be. The Pug, likewise, does not have slanted eyes because the eyes pop out when they sneeze. Properly stated, the Pug HAD slanted eyes at one time, but no more. And they were blue eyes, one blew left and one blew right. Why do George Bush and John Kerry have slanted eyes? Because they are Mongoloids. (Or maybe it's a BoTox malfunction, on a par with Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.) Alexandra in MA (Someone pound a stake through this threads heart, quick!) Switch: " Jeeze, what's this little round sticky thing that just rolled under the table?" Lily: "AAAUUUGG!!!" [Posted in FML issue 4673]
