Solon & I ran into an old Italian guy (OIG) we've known for years this afternoon.

OIG (gesturing towards Solon): He was mean when he was young, eh?

Me: No, he was always a Mama's boy, Luigi. Labradors are pussies.

OIG: Eh. Next dog you get has to hate people. The people around here are a-no good.

Me: Will do.

Of course, I saw three crack deals during that short conversation.
