   Oh, it is! Its only justification for existence is that it makes a great training food, to prepare you for your first taste of surströmming.

   Rather a boaring diet, wouldn’t you say?

   You’re quite correct… but that was part of the joke. I was making a play on words… transforming a common complaint about “illiteracy in America” into a comment on Teena’s use of alliteration. Teena’s not illiterate, but she does alliterate (and so do I, as it’s often a great way to make a pun).

   With a shake of the head, and a sad comment about alliteracy in America. (“alliteration” would fill the blank nicely; “rhyme” would do although it’s less specific; “panel” is valid but it misses the point I think you’re trying to make)

   From what I’ve heard, “Bob” was actually sabotaged by its jealous predecessor “Clippy”. Clippy had been derided and rejected by the Microsoft user base for its sluggish performance and intrusive behavior, and less-than-helpful “suggestions”. Nursing a huge grudge and seeking revenge, Clippy deliberately tampered with Bob’s teleprompter, causing Bob to insult users’ writing styles and grammar, make inappropriate suggestions involving melons and cucumbers, and recommend “hot prospect” stock picks such as a recently-condemned spoo ranch. The end came when Clippy tricked Bob into insulting Microsoft’s own software developers… seeing computer diagnostics such as “You learned to program in COBOL, didn’t you?” and “You’re going to Hell for this coding style” enraged the programmers and brought an end to Bob’s development cycle.

   It’s not so much dog intelligence we need to worry about… it’s dog philosophy and fundamentalist dog religion and all sorts of dog-propagated political “alternative facts” taking over public debate. Dog dogma dogging us will do us dirty.

    But the young people today, they’ll never believe you… (sipping his glass of Château de Chasselas)
