Fifteen Minutes of Shame
Dear Sparky,
The other day I was on my usual rounds and found myself in the middle of a major public function. How was I to know that the world’s cameras watched as I sniffed, searched and found a place to go! What an embarrassment! Now my friends accuse me of lifting my leg to the world. I am so humiliated. How can I ever live this down, Sparky?
Mortified in Metairie
Dear Mortified,
Not to worry! Government officials around the world have done worse than lift their legs in public. Take heart. Unless you run for office or belong to someone important, you have nothing to worry about. What you did was perfectly natural.
Sparky
