A Dog Analogy

[Blind Gossip] This classic actor has been around for many decades and has won lots accolades – and some big awards – for his work in movies.

He does not look like your typical leading man. His looks are a bit quirky… and so are his thoughts!

He says that he is a pacifist.

He has an interesting idea as to how we can all get along better.

He uses our canine friends to make his point.

He says that once dogs sniff each other’s butts, they don’t fight because they know who the other dog is and where they stand.

Oh, boy. Where is this going?

He says that if people sniffed each other’s butts, we would understand each other and wouldn’t fight anymore.

It would certainly be interesting if there was a sudden outbreak of pacifism once people started sniffing each other’s butts.

But, come on. Was he kidding?

He said this very seriously. I think his point was that people get into conflicts, but they are avoidable. He just used a very weird analogy to make his point. He seemed to think that his analogy was brilliant, though.

So, instead of dog versus dog – or person versus person – we could all avoid conflict by sniffing each other’s butts getting to know each other first.

Using the word analogy to describe this was likely unintentionally funny.

And definitely gross. Definitely gross.

    Don’t know what actor said it, but I have heard this before in a professional getting-to-know-each-other context.

    Maybe it’s a southern saying.

  3. WorkHardBeNice says

    I want to say Jeff Goldblum. He seems weird like that. But the way “definitely” is emohasized, I’m going with Dustin Hoffman.

    I have no idea about the actor. When dogs greet each other one they size up who will be the Alpha dog. The same goes for humans. Crazy analogy from the actor. It could have and should have been better stated.

    Dustin Hoffman
    Clues: Outbreak Versus Wag the dog
    Loved several movies: Tootsie, rain man, Lemony Snicket’s, fockers

    Mickey Rourke

    Just a guess cause he is a classic actor and off looking. Think he is a big dog lover….

  15. GooglyMoogly says

    Dustin Hoffman
    Clues – “sudden outbreak” movie called “Outbreak”
    “Dog versus dog” – movie called ‘Wag the Dog”
    “Definitely gross, Definitely Gross” – a Judge Wapner reference from Rain Man

    Favorite movie – The Graduate.

  18. EleanorViolet says

    It sounds like something Dustin Hoffman would say.

    Favorite movie of his: The Graduate

    Dustin Hoffman
    I saw references to Outbreak, Kramer vs. Kramer and Rain Man (“And definitely gross. Definitely gross”). Could even make a case for Wag the Dog as a clue!

    Dustin Hoffman?
    Kramer vs Kramer is probably my favorite but he’s kind of the same in every movie – not a lot of depth.

  25. omgimbackagain says

    Dustin Hoffman
    Clues: Outbreak, “definitely” (Rainman), link is to a Tom Cruise blind and they were brothers in Rainman
    He’s a weirdo and a #metoo waiting to happen, but I have loved everything I’ve ever seen him in.

  27. aaapants says

    Dustin Hoffman

    Clue: outbreak

    Love a lot of his movies: John & Mary, Midnight Cowboy, The Graduate, Tootsie.

    The analogy is wrong though. Dogs fight all the time. Especially male dogs.

  30. canadia99 says

    Dustin Hoffman. The ‘vs.’ comment refers to Kramer Vs. Kramer. ‘Oh, boy’ is from Rain Man.
