It was just a magazine quiz I found amusing. Nobody said anyone was
anal.

Sorry, but that's disgusting.

I wouldn't. Not trying to flame, but dogs lick the hair on their back
and the hair on their ass and genitals. There's no way I want one of
those hairs on my plate. If you need to serve food with dog hair in
it you should not be entertaining. Living with your own bad kitchen
hygiene is one thing, but inflicting on others is nasty.
