Cap, you globetrotting scallywag, you may have been everywhere and done everything, but here in America the only dogs we eat are the hot ones. I'm willing to allow for some cross-cultural aberrations in the area of diet, though I find some of them personally distasteful. I bet our Korean friends gag at the sight of a well-done taco - that's their privilege. But you, Cap ol' buddy, are a died-in-the-red true-blue American bluejacket, so don't be eatin' them puppies. The very idea. Jack would bark once if he ever heard of such things. He has, however, gone to the great kennel in the sky, so if you allow me to mix my metaphors, he's probably turning in his grave even as we speak.
By the way, how's the book coming?
