...jokes, jaunts and taunts begin. To the fat person requesting extra mayonnaise on his sandwich, I’d hiss to myself, “Do you like clogging your arteries?” To the fat people lining up at McDonalds for a super-sized snack, I derisively thought, “You should be banned from this restaurant and forced to run a mile!” To the fat person taking the escalator, I would quietly and cruelly propose “climbing the stairs instead would do your jiggle some good.” No overweight...
Shrimpy, a character who looks like a pig-in-blanket cocktail snack performs "Soapin' Up the Hawg" at the beginning of the short story, "The Mighty Kingdom of Shrimpy-Ub." His motivation for doing so, on a rug in the middle of his living room, remains unspoken, as do the origins of the ritual.

At Manhattan's Doggie-Do salon (seriously, they love puns), owners can hold dog birthday parties and bark mitzvahs (you believe me now?) with printed invitations, gift registries and a game called ice hockey, in which dogs chase a slippery liver snack frozen in a block of ice across the floor. Apparently it's not easy to come up with a pun for a frozen-liver game...
