Oh man, that's hilarious.
I am reminded of the time I had a minor (okay, closer to major, but whatever) nervous breakdown shortly after the birth of my son - he was a fussy baby and apparently considered me his human pacifier, because he wanted to nurse constantly and flipped a grip if I tried to lay him down somewhere.
So I went out and got a breast pump, thinking it would be a simple way to give the kiddo a bottle without having to have the rest of my dead carcass constantly attached to it, but it didn't work out like that. Not one bit.
The actual end result was that the damn thing didn't like me at all and just didn't work, and this left me sitting on my bed one evening with the pump accomplishing nothing more strenuous than humming merrily along like a very loud Hoover as I sobbed uncontrollably and apologized to Bessie the Cow for attaching similar devices to her just because I have a deep affection for Cinnamon Life.
Doing it to feed my child was harrowing enough without having to also supply America with the dairy portion of its Chunky Monkey.
And Bessie, if you're reading this...even though it's been 8 years, I'm still sorry.
Oh yeah - and PETA are lunatics. The murdering of the dog is right up there with their ridiculous "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign wherein they displayed photos of Jews in concentration camps alongside photos of chickens in slaughterhouses, as if these two things are somehow equal. Disgusting.
