                 Ruminations & Ponderances

         It's not the size of the dog in the fight,
           It's the size of the fight in the dog.
                   (Thanks to Dave Pugh) 

    I think you'd find that a laid-back Doberman would 
    still chew the stuffing out of an ornery Chihuahua.  
               (Thanks to Paul Paternoster)

         It's not the size of the dog in the fight,
          it's the size of the rats gnawing on the 
                dog's corpse after he loses.
                (Thanks to Mitch Patterson)
