The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida has gone to the dogs. Well, at least its rugs have.
Department spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda said Wednesday that a new, $500 rug at the sheriff's administration building said "In Dog We Trust" instead of "In God We Trust."
The forest green rug with the sheriff's yellow badge was in the entrance area for a couple of months when the error was discovered Wednesday by a deputy.
Apparently this is being claimed on a manufacturer's error and the Sheriff's office is receiving a new one, with the correct wording, to replace it.
Personally I think that the wording is fine just the way it is.
After all who would you rather trust, your faithful canine companion, or a deity who is well known for ignoring prayers, causing pestilence and disease, and occasionally losing his temper and annihilating thousands, if not millions, of people?
Sure the dog might pee on your carpet, but has he ever caused a tidal wave to devastate Malaysia?
Besides the rug sat in the entry way for months not bothering anybody until somebody hired a deputy that could read. Stupid literate deputy!
That rug really tied the room together. - The Dude
ReplyDeleteI know that sheriff he's a dyslexic agnostic insomniac. Lies awake all night wondering if there is a dog.
ReplyDeleteSure the dog might pee on your carpet, but has he ever caused a tidal wave to devastate Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but nobody ever thanks their dog at the Grammy's or Superbowl..... Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen them both in the same room at once? Hmmmm.....
Two items on IM this week that I would purchase. A Sarah Palin voodoo doll and an "in dog we trust" rug (minus the badge, it goes with nothing I own). Perhaps Gryphen should open a Cafe Press store like those clever earthquake folks!
ReplyDeleteWell, like in real life, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between god and dog. They are quite similar, but the dog is usually nicer, and definitely more interested in what you're doing. ;)
ReplyDeleteand we know dogs are real, loyal, affectionate and loving. God??? lives in our head if we let them, along with Santa Claus, the Christmas fairy, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.
DeleteNow, let's all take a minute to think this through. The always accurate web tells me that there are around 2 dozen recognized religions in the world and about 200 AKC dog breeds. We will assume mutts are comparable to nonbelievers (as well we should). Considering how screwed we are with 24 variations of God worship, what in dog's name do you think 200 of my dog is better than your dog worshipper's would do? Cats are our only true salvation. Even the ancient Egyptians knew that.
ReplyDeleteDog Libel!
DeleteDo you know how many cat breeds there are? Or are you suggesting we only worship the Mau?
DeleteOr head straight to idolatry and worship Bastet?
I'm afraid my dog would never stand for it.
Sorry to all for my post at 1:04. My cat was on the back of the couch, watching every keystroke. Hel....🐱
DeleteAccording to estimates, there are roughly 4,200 recognized religions in the world.
DeleteManufacturing error?
ReplyDeleteNope---atheist worker with a sense of humor.
Manufacture was probably outsourced to China.
DeleteOr the hand of God?

DeleteDon't you mean the hand of dog?
OT: Those Republican leaders sure are funny and have a good sense of humor. Check out Senator Sarah Palin, oops, I mean Senator Joni Ernst behind all those microphones. hahahaha! They could have gotten her a stool to stand on but noooooo! She looks like a fool. She has been chosen to deliver the Republican response to Obama's State of the Nation Speech. She will follow in the tracks of all those other famous asses who have gone before such as Gov. Bob vagina probe McDonnell from Virginia, Bobby Jindal from Louisiana, and Shelly crazy eyes Bachman from Minnesota even though she was delivering the response from the teabaggers. Joni Ernst, the pig castrator. Good effing lord! What were the Iowa voters thinking?
ReplyDeleteThat'll do pig, that'll do.
DeleteAwww. Babe!
DeleteIs this sheriff being fired for allowing this misspelling to go so long unnoticed or uncorrected?
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall there were demands for the resignation of a principal for allowing a school sign over a back entrance rarely used to go a few weeks with spelling and grammatical errors.
Sauce is sauce. If the principal is fired over that then the sheriff should be fired too.
BTW, what is the word GOD doing on a government rug in a public government office? Seems to me the word shouldn't be on the rug in the first place.
Personally, I trust my dog. A lot.
OT -- Gryph, have you been inundated with comments about Trig's ear in the Ted Nugent post?
ReplyDeleteOT - Joni Ernst to Deliver GOP Response to the State of the Union Address HAHAHAHAHAHA this will be comedy gold !!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/15/joni-ernst-state-of-the-union_n_6481026.html
ReplyDeleteI have trust in Dog.
ReplyDeleteO/T
ReplyDeleteSunny and Levi having their baby....

Beautiful! I was waiting for the kitchen sink bath, like the redneck hillbillys did to Tripp. I can't say it enough, Levi makes some of the most beautiful babies, and Sunny? Stunning beyond belief, she could easily be a model.
Delete"Someone" surely traded up and found his real soul mate. "Someone Else" Meh, not so much. Keep trying, sweetheart, there's a lid for every pot. Have you looked in flea markets? christian tingle?
they are the best officers..it only stands to reason.
ReplyDeleteJust think of all the fun we could have:
ReplyDeleteDog bless America, land that I love...
...and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under dog...
The rug in Pasco, the next county north reads "In Dope We...."
ReplyDeleteFigures.
The officials gave the rug bid to some toothless dude in a titty bar.
The lard works in mysterious ways! I WANT THAT RUG in every state of the union, it's much more accurate than the new one. Maybe put it on our money, never trust one who turns women into salt licks and or all the other bullshit relegated to female sexuality in the bible.
ReplyDeleteWhat did I miss?
ReplyDeleteThey need to give these to the K-9 unit for their offices...
ReplyDeleteI live in Pinellas County,.........HEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
