One of our peers among the purportedly more evolved species concluded that it was a sensible idea to pick up their dog's excrement in a plastic grocery bag, which is laudable, but then leave the bag on the sidewalk next to the dumpster 2 buildings down. The latter act is punishable by being stuck in the back of a Gremlin with a shirtless Jeff Samardzija on an 8-hour drive across Iowa.

You have my full agreement on all matters concerning dog poop in the People's Republic of Lakeview. It is my number one peeve. I think I'll join my local council or whatever and try to get an ordinance passed saying that if someone lets their dog poop on the sidewalk I have permission to burn their house down.

I read an article in the New York Times about dog poop cops. Apparently, this is a real beat. They follow dog walkers around and try to catch them leaving the poop. They even have a profile of the type that doesn't clean up. It's people who look hurried and irritated.

If I can bust a 15 year-old graffiti artist, perhaps I can expand my deputy responsibilities to keeping the parkway clear of dog doo.

Someone talking on their cell phone while walking the dog would be a dead giveaway. One, they're not paying much attention to their dog. Two, they don't have a free hand to scoop poop with.

I bust people in the park all the time for it. I yell at them until they hang up and pick it up.

Are you for hire?

An eye for and eye would make the whole world blind.

Which is why Geen takes a life for an eye.

It's true. Speed past me in your car = you die, wife dies, kids get beaten. Don't pick up your dog poop = arson/murder.
