Dog Noses Careening off Cliffs

Dog noses have careened off cliffs before so the act of these dog noses careening as they did in a side falling motion off that particular cliff came as no surprise to the experts of dog noses or to the experts of careenology. Dog noses, hirsute as well as narsute, have a tendency to careen in geographical locations where other body parts have no problem maintaining a proper balance. Careening is fine, but it has been scientifically proven through intense use of electromagnetic shock therapy that careening near cliffs of ample proportion has side effects that occur in the noses of dogs and rare species of heron heads that OOZE through the slime.  It has been hypothesized by Milhous Richard Nixon, a cousin of the late Richard Milhous Nixon, that the dog nose that careens evolved from the fish head that OOZES, and that careening is simply a more advanced stage of oozing.

Certain topple-ologists are now experimenting with a new phenomenon found only in dog noses of the terrier breed. By placing a displaced nose on top of a large boulder a toppling action seems to occur. The noses topple, the noses careen, all in a downward fashion, all as if they were going somewhere other than to the top of a cliff or the top of a boulder. The experiment was reversed by placing large boulders on top of dog noses and there was no toppling, only smashing and crushing, and the scientists were forced to find more dog noses for their experiments. In a similar experiment reversing cliffs and dog noses it was found that cliffs do indeed careen off dog noses leaving the dog noses relatively unharmed except for a small cut just below the lower nostril which was not caused by the weight of the cliff, but by the nose trying to crawl towards the drinking fountain before the cliff could careen. Further experiments showed that placing three objects on solid ground in ascending order, those objects being a boulder, a dog nose, and a cliff, caused not a toppling-careening effect as was hypothesized by the early Froderich Jim Muller, but a smashing-careening effect as was hypothesized by nobody.

The dog nose, standing tall as only a dog nose can, triumphantly sang over the smashed boulder, from which it did NOT topple, and the careened cliff. The dog nose quickly became the latest wonder of the scientific world and was soon talked about in the bar rooms and pantries of Europe's highest society. The non-toppling, non-careening, dog nose crawled towards the drinking fountain, pushing away the rubble, ignoring the scientists who sat in their chairs both stunned and hungry, and took a long drink of cold, wet, water which came toppling out of the tap very much like a dog nose would topple off of a boulder had there not been a cliff careening off the dog nose. As there was no cliff, this dog nose, bolder than most, climbed to the top of a grassy knoll, where no toppling was to occur. He was greeted by a number of other bold dog noses and overcome with lapsing dog nose joy they started to OOZE. Not as fishes OOZE but as dog noses OOZE. Better said they began the process of creating OOZE.

This OOZE, although different from most nose OOZE in regards to its chemical make-up, shared an important characteristic to other species of OOZES, that characteristic being that it was slippery. The grassy knoll became coated with OOZE and the dog noses began to slide through the OOZE to the boulders below from which they toppled down to the edge of the cliffs leading to a subsequent careening action that resulted in an actual careen of dog noses off cliffs down towards the boulders below where they toppled their way downward as if they were not traveling upward. As the dog noses toppled and careened a number of scientists began to hypothesize over the genetic make-up of dog noses that careen and topple and began to imagine experiments that scientists might wish to practice on a careening or toppling dog nose, and hoped that one of their experiments would lead not only to the end of careening and toppling but to the end of all life as we know it.
