	My dog keeps licking his balls. I think that this is disgusting. Why does he do this, and how can I keep him from doing it in public?

Er, nevermind, sorry.

*Ahem* If it's in moderation, there's nothing to fear, he's just grooming himself. If it's excessive, he could either have fleas or an infection, in which case, you should take him to the vet.

Do you know how they get people to stop biting their fingernails by using jalapeno-flavored nail polish? I suggest that we take a lesson from previous successes.

You are a cruel, cruel man.
