The sneakiest thing I do is to say:

"It's time to eff EE ee dee the see AY tee"

So my dog won't know I'm going to feed the cat. I use the emphasis I do because he figured out what EFF ee ee DEE the SEE ay TEE meant.

Poodles are just too damned smart.

I miss the days when it worked with the kid.

That doesn't work here. Our dog can spell. When she learned the word "walk," we spelled. Then she quickly learned what "k" meant. Truth is, we don't even need to speak or move. She still knows.

The sneakiest thing I do is to make up sneaky things either because I don't do any sneaky things (no imagination) or because the things I do are so sneaky there would be outrage. You can choose.

But if you were making up sneaky things because you don't do any sneaky things, then that would mean that you do sneaky things, in which case... oh, my head. Where's Denny and his emoticons?

I am an instigator. I'll say something like "wouldn't be funny if someone did ______ knowing full well that A) it is a ridiculously bad idea and B) the person I'm talking to is someone that would do it.

One must keep one's sneaky skills razor sharp if the need ever arises.

What are you planning on doing when you're living in an Assisted Living Facility and chocolate isn't on your nutritional plan BUT it's on your roommates plan? How will you get your roommate's chocolate, convince your roommate s/he ate her chocolate, and convince the nutritionalist that the roommate ate the chocolate too? Are your skills going to be up to throwing the paper in your roommate's trash, smearing a little chocolate on his/her fingers, clothes, and lips, AND giving your roommate enough chocolate so s/he'll have chocolate breath?

What are you planning on doing when the economy does go to hell in a handbasket and gold is the monetary exchange unit? Are you going to know how to pass vermeil off as 24K? And look convincing?

What are you planning on doing when you live with the kids and this is so far in the future that Pink Floyd is going to be illegal and they're willing to turn you in for your own good?

Omni-noided practically.

And just in case you may need to know. Pay attention to how your roommate unwraps chocolate too. I flatten and fold my wrapper nicely. Some people just rip the wrapper off like it doesn't matter.
