Hi everyone,
As a non-native English speaker, I can't get the humour in the picture
of Chapter 16 of CLL, as well as its caption ... Why there're dogs? Why
mention 'example'? And how is this related to the title of this chapter?
Nothing English about the humor. See the examples in section 5 and
section 7 of the chapter (and possibly in other sections). One can
imagine the subject of the examples would much rather that John (Cowan,
the author) use a different example, having been bitten multiple times
by multiple dogs in multiple examples.
