I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Super Wal-Mart Shopping Center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Yellow Lab pup had fresh air. She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, 'Now you stay. Do you hear me?'

"Stay Stay"

The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady, gave me a strange look and said,

Why don't you just put it in "PARK" ?
