text: My dearest, Mr Scott, you are omitting the implied word "humanely" before the word "execute." Of course we are going to execute the dog humanely! What sort of brutes do you imagine us to be? The dog is eventually going to die from an accident or humane execution anyway, and we are simply stepping up the more desirable option by a few short years. And we may very well be doing it a favor. Let's suppose the coach most responsible for the excruciating defeat in Kansas City returns home and finds his dog jumping around in glee at the occasion of his arrival. The coach, in his melancholy state of mind, thinks, "He's mocking me. My dog is mocking me!" Whereupon, he kicks the poor thing to death. We don't want that now, do we!?! Let's stay the course on this one and provide a humane execution that will send a subtle but indelible message to the coach that we expect a more lively presentation of our local football team in the future. Cheers!
