Riley has a bone to pick… and it’s not a bone of contention!

I remember writing long ago that I didn’t mind working like a dog - but don’t treat me like one. That was before dog’s inherited fortunes and were given access to stardom and “The Life of Riley“. Riley was apparently the first dog to master it’s owner and hold secret seminars that taught other dogs life’s big secret: humor them!

Two words that changed the world: humor them! I’ve searched the deepest philosophical conundrums to uncover hidden truths, I’ve climbed the highest religious towers to be struck by epiphanies and I’ve lived through revelatory near death experiences… only to be outsmarted by a dog. Riley had already been there, done that - the poop scoop please. Apparently it’s time to stop and smell the shit*!

Humor them - Tony Robbins is a rabid fan of Rileys. And Tony’s apparently not barking up the wrong tree as he has sniffed out some quantifiable success in this world. And at the bottom of it all, any and all gurus of any and all given success, rely on Riley’s secret: humor them! Everyone wants to be humored - ask any dog.

Special. That’s how Riley makes you feel… special. Everyone want’s to feel special. Special is celebrated - the everyday stuff appears mundane as we wait for that special moment to arrive. And look, someone’s offering us something special - that automatically discounts every other mundane offer. IT’S SPECIAL!

And every bone that doesn’t belong to you is special - just ask Riley, or, for that matter, ask Aesop, Riley’s first convert whom coined the phrase “His bark is worse than his bite”. Aesop then went on to interpret Riley’s barking and the rest is fabled history (credit must also be given to Aesop who one day lamented that “Life’s a bitch” …this not only made Riley supremely happy - but also a supreme being).

Humor them! It’s what best friends do best… and what the rest pay for to feel special (and if you can’t humor them - piss on them!).

Tap their funny bone… if you get on their nerves they’ll humor you. Riley.
