I thought this thread was were a bunch of 40 year old british guys sit around griping about kids today, sip tea, discuss prog and take naps.
I am a fan of all those things of course!

A man walks into a bar with a paper bag. He sits down and places the bag on the counter. The bartender walks up and asks what's in the bag.
The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, about one foot high and sets him on the
counter. He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano, setting it on the counter as well. He reaches into the bag once again and pulls out a tiny piano bench, which he places in front of the piano.
The little man sits down at the piano and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart! 'Where on earth did you get that?' says the bartender.
The man responds by reaching into the paper bag. This time he pulls out a magic lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says: 'Here. Rub it.'
So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there's a gust of smoke and a beautiful genie is standing before him. 'I will grant you one wish. Just ! one wish~~ each person is only allowed one!'
The bartender gets real excited. Without hesitating he says, 'I want a million bucks!' A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar. It is soon followed by another duck, then another. pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!
The bartender turns to the man and says, 'Y'know, I think your genie's a little deaf. I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks.'
'Tell me about it!!' says the man, ....do you think i asked for a 12 inch pianist? | |

ah no... "By the scruff of the neck" does not mean strangle - the "scruff" is the loose skin at the back of the neck, like how a mother cat picks up a kitten.

I'm aware what the scruff is, but I prefer strangle. After all these world issues have to be dealt with meaningfully. I do not want to pick them up with my mouth, I want to strangle them so they can never bug us again!

So do scruffy people technically have to have dirty collars?

You don't have to pick them up by the mouth, your mitt will do. Cats use there mouths because they can't use their paws.
WE humans can of course.
Its why you don't see cats driving.
