Knowing the dynamics of different types of animals, you consider that the best way to handle a cat problem is to get a dog. You pick a large scary looking beast from the internet and have it sent to your email. When the email arrives a few seconds later, you find the dog is even more fearsome than you had expected.
"Hi," the dog says, stepping out of the email attachment. "My name is Russell. I hear you have a cat problem?"
"Oh," you say, a little surprised. "Your name is Russell as well? The cat's name is Russell."
"Great," the dog says, "Good to know." He gives you a smile and a tail wag, then goes off to deal with the cat.
"Yeah," you say as he walks away, "have fun." Is that an awful thing to say in this situation? You're not sure, having never held conversations with animals which weren't strictly one-sided.
A few minutes pass with no sounds and no sign of either animal. The minutes stretch on for more than an hour, and by this point you're feeling fairly anxious.
