Bessie-isms:
*If you expect people to cater to you, you are doomed to be disappointed. Most humans can’t even manage to take care of themselves, let alone another, like you.
*Humans are the only animal that won’t escape even when there’s no door on their cage, preferring habit to the insecurity of freedom.

Bessie-isms:
*Few leftovers are improved by aging in a fridge.
*The dog may be smarter than humans; when their butthole itches, they just drag it on the ground to scratch that itch. Humans will wiggle, dance, clench or do a number of other completely useless things rather than just being direct and scratching that evil itch.
Quotable:
Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.
Samuel Butler

Bessie-isms:
*Genetic engineering will have arrived when they can produce a purple cow with pink polka dots.
