Mixed Signals

“Are they watching us? Can you tell?”

“Of course they’re watching us, they’re males. That’s why we chose this form.”

“But Rosie, what if they don’t come out here and try to talk to us? How can we take them if they are standing so far away?”

“This is why they sent you out with me. I have been doing this stuff for centuries. Watch and learn. Trust me, they will be out here soon. I made sure that we are irresistible. We are in our 20s with great figures, long hair, and little bathing suits standing in the heat. They are both male, and acting dominate. Look at them, they are definitely interested.”

“Rosie, they are both chasing a stick. Oh, now they are both rolling on their backs. Are you sure this is going to work?”

“The book is clear on this. A female in heat giving out the right signals will attract the male. We are the right sex, hot, and giving out the right signals.”

“But are we the right species, Rosie? Something isn’t right. Those dogs are walking on four legs, not two.”
