I've heard similar words muttered by people when referring to their  
teen-aged sons and/or spousal units but oddly enough, we humans still seem  
to keep having them .

It seems that we humans do a lot of things that simply don't make any  
sense from the perspective of efficiency or a balance sheet.

It just so happens that a friend whose firm includes the word  
"Sustainable" in its name sent along the following evaluation of the  
relative merits of dogs vs. one of the aforementioned:

(Hey, don't shoot me. I'm just the messenger. And besides, Ben started it.  
Blame him.)

Why Some Men Have Dogs instead of Wives:

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit.

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get  
another dog?"

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a  
pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just  
think it's interesting.

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.

  And last, but not least:

14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

To test this theory:  Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an  
hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.
