Over the weekend, my parents met my fiance's dad for the first time. Some of you long-suffering readers know about the saga of my soon to be father in law. In short, he's a once-hippie who experienced a late life conversion to, if there is such a thing, evangelical catholicism. He once gave me a crucifix for Christmas, knowing that I'm Jewish.
My own dad, a lunatic in his own right, listens to talk radio because he loves conspiracy theories and spends much of the day sending inappropriate forwards to everyone who accidentally gave him their email address.
Anyway, everything was going well for at least 10 minutes, until we went into my father in law's backyard. They have an old, mean, nasty rottweiler-lab named Coco. The kind of dog that growls if you walk by him.
For whatever reason, Coco actually walked up to my dad. And before anyone could warn him, he attempted give Coco a good petting behind the ears.
Coco, of course, responded by biting the hell out of his hand. Fortunately no stitches were necessary, but there was a decent amount of blood.
The rest of the day actually went fairly well though, and nobody was accused of blasphemy.
Well, that went about as expected

It sounds like heyzeus's FIL's dog should meet Tam Man's dad's dog and have them fight to the death.

It is like Rocky IV:
