Akita Inu

“It’s an Akita Inu, a Japanese fighting dog. The samurai used them to hunt bears. He’s like three pitbulls rolled into one. He’s a male, right, so if any other male comes near him, wham, he takes him down. A while back, this guy came cycling past with his dog off the leash. So I say: Put a leash on him.
And he says: My dog doesn’t bite.
Yeah, I say, but mine does. And it will rip yours to shreds.
You should put a muzzle on him, he says.
So I say: You’re to lazy to walk your dog. Look at you, cycling.
And he says: What you see is what you get – you really are antisocial.
Just because I’ve got some tattoos. I work in a tattoo shop, right. Look at this skull on top of my head. It’s made up of details from paintings by Dali. Look, here’s the melting clock. I’m not a barbarian. Do you know what barbarian’s do? They chain their bikes to statues.”
