The friend appraised my camera and pointed, "Look - a Schnauzer. Just up your alley!" Without missing a beat, I replied, "I think I'll go over to that young woman and tell her how much I like the look of her shaved Schnauzer. Perhaps she'll let me pet it and photograph it up close." Guffaws answered me, "Okay, I've heard all those Schnauzer jokes too." Advantage, JB.
