That's ruff, but maybe she was trying to stamp out a threat. Hopefully she'll be able to meet bail.

Throw a few meat balls at the judge, but put large gold nuggets (not nails) in them, and maybe she'll get to skate free...

Can we get the effen RECIPE?

Is it too much to ask reporters to their jobs?!?!

Well, if we're going to re-use the jokes of others with impunity:

Maybe she thought the dog needed some ruffage in its diet.

Fist, nobody else used nail and ruff in the same play on words.

I thought your joke was petfect.

If it's so perfect why didn't I think of it in time for the first comment up top?

Is anybody going to mention the postal carrier seems a right cunt?

[loveconstitution1789]

To be fair, every dog in my neighborhood barks when the USPS, UPS or fedex drivers come by.

They must be on to something. Canine get to the meat of the matter.

[Jerryskids]

There's still a post office?

[loveconstitution1789]

And they still don't like doing work.

One of the few constitutionally-mandated functions of the federal government...

Mandates or allows?

Hmmpf. My dad always put strychnine in the neighbor dog's meatballs.
