If I Only Had a Tail

I knew there was something missing in my life – a tool to help businesses understand when I am… and am not… a satisfied customer. 

I need a tail.

According to a story in the Science section of today’s New York Times (subscription required), researchers say that when a dog is happy, its tail wags more to the right.  In humans its our facial muscles – we use more on the right side when we’re happy, more on the left when we’re not.

Tails are easier to read.  Wish I had one.

On second thought, it’s my 46th birthday today.  Even without a tail, if I were to start wagging my behind in a store, I’d knock everything off the shelves.

    Happy 46, Michele! I’m 4 months behind you which surely means I’m out of your kill zone. ;-)
