I've been following this theme and decided to change the title: How I plan to Not Do It! Here are the 10 best things about not being a judge: # 10. I get to go home from the show and sleep without second guessing my decisions. # 9. I get to go out for dinner with my friends after the show without that little glance that says they hate me now! # 8. I can set in the lawn chair at ring side and relax and judge the dogs without having to stand in the heat in a suit all day. # 7. I can see better from ring side than the judge can in the center of the ring. # 6. I do not have to be strip searched in airports to prove that security is not racially profiling. # 5. I do not have to carry a couple of hundred extra to the shows to make sure I can get home, redeem my car from parking and eat airport food. # 4. I do not have to worry about the confusing instruction of awarding Grand Champion points. # 3. I can tell everyone exiting the ring that they got robbed and make them feel better. # 2. I can give any dog a cookie and tell them that they were by far the best dog of the day - and be believed. # 1. I can be politically incorrect, will not be charged with being political, a crook or stupid and still have friends. Hope every one figures out the G. CH. points. Until then, just give me the purple ribbon. Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
