banky's Journal: 1st Dog Division agrees to a cease-fire

Today elements of the 1st Dog Division agreed to a cease fire, ending its week-long chemical blitz against our homeland.

U.N. Pet Relations Secretary Fred Foop stated that the terms of the ceasefire are still secret, but are believed to involve additional tummy rubs, an an extra treat after walks, and more stick-chasing. Homeland sources remain on high alert and are wary, fearing additional attacks once their defensive posture is relaxed.

When pressed for comment, the 1st Dog Division licked itself for some time, then yawned and took a nap.

It's some kind of non-sequitur black hole- there is just no response to it, rational, irrational, appropriate or vulgar, no punchline, nothing... to read it is to short out thought until a suitable distraction kicks the mind back into action...

But for some reasion it's so stunningly alien that it warrants dissemination as would be appropriate for a bizarre foreign language inscription etched on ancient tablets.

The reason for this is that we have no room in our paradigm for this sort of argument. It sounds rediculous, but if you broaden your perspective, you will find that it is not. You have to stretch your brain a bit though.
