Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

I used to have this girlfriend. She had a dog. I used to call it the dog.

The dog.

The question I used to have (and I never got answered, at least not satisfactorily) was whether or not I was engaging in minimalism or post-modern minimalism when I said “The dog” over and over again.

“The dog.”

“The dog.”

Not in an elongated way, nor in a short, truncated manner, but in a flat utterance that barely passed for speech.

“The dog.”

“The dog.”

Over and over and over.

Interestingly enough, my girlfriend never saw fit to engage me in conversation about pure minimalism vs. post-modern minimalism, but instead asked me over and over why I insisted on talking about the dog, which, as I have previously stated, I referred to simply as “The dog.” As a result, we failed miserably to communicate in a manner that satisfied either of us, and as a result, the dog issue was left unresolved.
