I talked to an Algerian mudslime and asked him why are they scared of dogs, as he was avoiding them as plague. He told me it's the law in islam that if a dog touches you with his nose and the snot passes on you, they have to immediately go shower and pray as "there is something bad in dog's slime". This was at work so me and my White colleague proceeded to annoy the hell out of him by asking "What about *every animal we could come up with*". So every time you take the dog for a walk make sure he jumps all over muzzies.
