The dog's what...?

The dog's bollocks. That's what. In my shamefully dull day to day life, I often find that I have more than enough time to ponder mysteries and grey areas such as whether penguins and ostriches actually feel jealousy towards birds with the power of flight, whether the world would be a better place if we exterminated all the 'chavs' (silly question), why Princess Peach is so hopelessly bad at not being kidnapped by Bowser (or in fact why Mario is so lackadaisical towards his supposed lover, who blatantly isn't being satisfied by him), and why I can't stand gravy (WHY?!). But today, I've been seriously racking my brains about one question in particular; Why exactly do we say "the dog's bollocks" in reference to something that's top of its field? It's baffling. Of all the parts of any animal's anatomy, why would we find testicles the most desirable? Especially on a dog! I'm sure the dog's bollocks seem great from a dog's own perspective, judging by the fact that they always seem to lick their balls, but I don't share the feeling. Come 80/90 years of age, when I'm totally bat-shit insane, maybe I will. Lovely. But really, I can't ever find myself wanting to come into contact with a canine's scrotum - but looking at the way the world is going, maybe it's me that's the messed up one for not conforming to some invisible doggy gonad loving rule? No, not just yet. Y'see, the "bee's knees" is a phrase that (from some quick deductions, probably) makes sense - but maybe I'm missing a parallel here. Do dogs' testicles carry pollen? No, no they don't. Bah, I'm beyond the point of caring now. Thank you for reading me ponder something utterly pointless, and equally utterly unenthralling. It's your fault for not bailing earlier!

Have a great weekend everyone; make sure it really is the dog's bollocks. Cheers.
