I work at a bar, and that bar has a mascot. His name is Scruffy, and he’s an ugly, oily, raggedy little terrier mutt who is the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. He belongs to one of our regulars and when he’s here he walks around licking people’s legs and cuddling up to them and looking at them adoringly. Everyone loves Scruffy. Scruffy gets free snacks and water and has a bed behind the bar he never uses, because people fight over who gets to carry him around or hold him in their lap and he loves it.
A couple weeks ago a new guy started coming in, and just happened to never be here when Scruffy was here. Until Scruffy and his owner walked in and New Guy (NG) FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. He startled when Scruffy came running up to him, tail wagging and wiggling excitedly, and stood up so quick he knocked his chair over. He hopped up on his table and started screaming “Get that damn mutt outta here! Get it out!! I’ll shoot it!! GET IT OUT!!!!” (for the record, Scruffy is about the size of a large cat and weighs 12 pounds tops, he’s not huge and scary)
Scruffy’s owner took him outside to avoid more conflict and NG started shouting at my manager about letting dogs in their place of business. She pointed out we actually do have a sign on the door that says pets allowed. He screamed it was too dark to see that sign in the parking lot or he’d never have come in here. Also that it was illegal to let non-service animals in here, because we sell food. Manager just shrugged and said sorry, if it’s your business or Scruffy we choose Scruffy.
NG left saying he was gonna call the Health Department and report us, and THEN call Animal Control and tell them Scruffy bit him so they put him down. I just hope he knows if he actually tries that there are some people in here who will legit hunt his ass down, me included. No one messes with Scruffy.

I am designing a logo for a local colonics company. After several attempts to find out what she would like her logo to look like, I was beginning to think we would never arrive at a design she liked.
Me: Should I continue submitting sample logo designs?
Client: We have a psychic at the office, she said she would see if she could feel something. Give me a few days. I’ve heard she has come up with great logos for businesses.
