A dog fornicates AND it barks. So should I rent or buy?

//And it floats.

 
worlddan 2008-04-26 07:36:29 PM  
As I have never hired a dog or a prostitute I guess that means the color of my soul is brown.

This guy is actually advocating marriage over loads of promiscuous sex under the auspices of more sex? Methinks he's the one with some sort of brain-devouring venereal disease.

at least Clarkson has come clean about being a dog farker

 
mdfitzsimmons 2008-04-26 07:38:27 PM  
I thought this was going to be an article about how landlords are increasingly allowing pets because of foreclosures, but instead this guy wants us to rent dogs?

This is one of those articles that answers a question no one asked.

It's Clarkson so on some level he's always taking the piss.

A duck is made out of wood, and wood floats.

So, what is she? A WITCH! A witch! A biatch. A biatch. BURN HER! BURN HER! She turned me into a newt! *silence*... I got better...

Is he really saying that it's better to get married in order to have sex regularly than to pay a hooker?

Should this have the "Satire" tag instead of "Obvious"?

"If it floats, flies or fornicates, you are better off buying renting.

 
nanded 2008-04-26 07:42:25 PM  
And that brings me on to fornication. Anyone who thinks it's better to pay a prostitute than get married and have it on tap is so riddled with venereal disease that he's not thinking straight

I think a lot of people who rent prostitutes are married, so doesn't that throw his theory right out the window?

FTFA: Anyone who thinks it's better to pay a prostitute than get married and have it on tap is so riddled with venereal disease that he's not thinking straight. If you don't believe me, take a look at Henry VIII.

He caught something nasty from a hooker, went mad and took England out of the Catholic church. This forced a bunch of Bible-bashers to set up shop in America, which consequently became an English-speaking country. And as a result of that, we have to support them in their various military escapades around the globe.

Our soldiers, then, are getting blown up in Helmand simply because Henry fancied some out-of-wedlock rumpy-pumpy with Miss Syphilis 1510.

Isn't marriage legal prostitution?

 
PsychoTherapist 2008-04-26 08:09:06 PM  
FTA: Then, when it pegs out, you just hose it into the gutter, call Flexpetz and get another.

It gets better. At present my yard is peppered with about 40 dog eggs every day. Disgusting. However, you can pick up a rental dog in the morning, after it's been to the lavatory, and then give it back as soon as its legs start to cross.


These two paragraphs made me laugh 'til I cried.

No, because she doesn't leave after you're done.

In terms of current idiocies perpetrated by your lords and masters, that just isn't true. Afghanistan is classic blowback (remember the heroic Mujahideen ?). Iraq is a little more complicated, but modern Iraq's boundaries are a legacy of the Ottoman Empire, not the British Empire.

The origin of the division of the Ottoman Empire go back to the Paris Peace Conference, at which France, Italy, the UK, and the US were the major players. Moreover, far from being riven by internal conflict, the 'Great Iraqi Rebellion' unified Sunnis and Shias in seeking independence from the British Mandate of Mesopotamia.

Still, carry on blaming someone else. Saves looking at your own failings.

Premeditated_Road_Rage 2008-04-26 09:40:22 PM  
Mr. Clarkson, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The comment at the end is priceless,

Actually, nothing will guarantee you more sex than if you end up in a prison.

So perhaps the answer is in neither renting or buying, but in simply taking..

It's probably something to do with the lucrative urine trade that only dried up this century.

 
Max Danger Power [TotalFark] 2008-04-27 09:25:19 AM  
This is one of the more idiotic, nonsensical and typically Clarksonian things that he's written, but all his articles for the Times are close to this. Having said that, I would also buy his history book.

James May, when he's not doing the over-used Captain Slow nonsense, is the most easily watched and funniest man on that series. Listening to Clarkson is like being twacked in the head with a bag of "spanners" and Hammond tries too hard. May is hysterical.
