dog

Take a close look into somebody's eyes the next time they tell you that "they believe in god" and see if you don't observe a vaguely puzzled expression, as if they were peering into the great puzzling gramaphone of confounding existence itself and, coming up empty handed, grasped at the only word in their vocabulary, "god". You could switch it around and it would make as much sense, "dog". Like on those old RCA Victor recordings.
