Dogs? In Saudi Arabia? Not likely.
Have to think of something else... |

| Or is there a relation to EFL teaching in Saudi? |
Did anyone ever consider that there is a possible link between farting continuously and bad management/bad teachers. Both are results of the same cause: inability to make right decisions regarding what's best for them.
I hope someone is going to write his MA thesis on this topic |
Perhaps you can point to some of the relevant literature on this theme? Studies measuring the numbers of farts recorded in a cross-section of ESL staff rooms, and their correlation with perceived levels of managerial/teacherial incompetence? |
For a start, I suggest they read 'On Farting: Language and Laughter in the Middle Ages' and 'Excrement in the Late Middle Ages: Sacred Filth and Chaucer's Fecopoetics'.
On another note, how can they dare refer to what Chaucer wrote as literature  |

| It is an established fact that cats are more likely to be the guilty party than we canines, who all lead blameless lives ! |
