That's an interesting story Sk8eycat.  Thanks for posting it.

Heh! Now switch your ears to an Australian accent (G'die). 

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/26/gay-dog-refused-entry-to_n...

An Australian restaurant has been forced to apologize and pay compensation after refusing to let a blind man enter because they thought his dog was gay.

In May 2009, Ian Jolly, 57, was attempting to dine at the Thai Spice restaurant in Adelaide, when he was refused entry after staff misheard his female companion, and thought his "guide dog" was a "gay dog."

"The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog," the owners said in a statement to South Australia's Equal Opportuni...

Jolly is now set to receive a written apology and $1,400 compensation.

However, Jolly said that the situation had made him embarrassed about going to restaurants.

"I just want to be like everybody else and be able to go out for dinner, to be left alone and just enjoy a meal," he told Australian press.

 

None of the news articles I read bothered to explain that an Australian's pronunciation of "guide" might sound a little bit like "gay."

 

Although I don't see why it should matter...and I feel very sorry for Mr. Jolly's humiliation.  What I don't understand is why the restaurant employee didn't recognize the special harness that guide dogs wear.  I mean, that is beyond ignorant.

*****************

As for my weekend...pleh.  The neighbors are having a pool party, with children bellowing and shrieking for the past 6 hours.  Did we make that kind of noise when we went swimming as kids?

 

I took a couple more pics of Sweet Jerry.  I'll post them in my Profile later.  When my ears stop ringing.

Oh I get it Sk8eycat -- it's the pronunciation of "a far".  Cool joke!  Hope you are having a nice weekend.   : )

I don't know if that was an actual Freudian slip, dyslexia, or just because I never really learned how to type.  But it is wonderfully apt...and silly.

Y'all need to spend some time in the Southern US to get this one...

@sk8eycat I haven't signed in on here in ages, but I just had to say that is the funniest Freudian slip ever! LOL

Seriously, though, all my respect to all the groups out there that work so hard to rescue and protect all our furry friends. :)
