My mom used to say that all the dogs loves me (except for my fiancee's dog

this is an old joke....
a poor man fell in love with a rich man's daughter. grudgingly the rich man invited the bloke over for a meal.
there was the rich old man, the poor young man, the daughter and the rich man's dog(ROVER) lying on the rug, just between the young man and his hypothetical father in law.
they were having dinner.
conversation was minimal, almost muted.
the poor man was so tense that he wanted to break wind.
he let go off one, controlled, incremental, passive yet in the realms of audibility, not to mention olfactorilly offensive.
the old man looked up from his plate, eyed his mutt disapprovingly and muttered ROVER.
the young man was relieved that the blame had been deflected.
he let go off another one, more indiscreet than the last.
the old man looked at the dog yet again and let off another menacing ROVER.
it was when the young man had unleashed the third installment of the indigestion when the old man made his intent clear.
ROVER he shouted GET OUT BEFORE HE SHITS ON YOU.
as old John Lee Carre used to say...
the dog slept on the mat is sentence..the dog slept on the cat's mat is a story.
