Came across a dog without an owner on the trail today. It was chewing on a long-dead rodent. I could see someone ahead in the trees.
“Excuse me, is this your dog?”
“Maybe.”
“It’s black and white?”
“Maybe.”
“Well, it looks like it’s chewing on something.”
“Maybe!”
Turns out, the dog was named Maybe.
