I got so angry I had to lie down.

Scene: A small room in the process of being redecorated, due to excessive boredom on the part of its owner.

Participants: One woman, one dog (hers). Dog is excitable, barks at random intervals for no discernible reason, except possibly malice. The woman is easily startled.

Result: One dropped, broken picture frame.

Ironic: Picture is of dog. 

Progress report: I am almost done with The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
