Pierced nothing

In a mall near you there are places that can please and torture at the same time.  They sell earrings and they pierce the lobe, and perhaps other body parts, upon request.  This is another Y-intersection in the road where dogs always go one direction.  People can elect the other path.  As the dogs choose the no-cost, no-pain, no problem solution, they can, once again, be cast as winners.  Nothing against the piercing, which is a common as a book in a library, but dogs just don't do ear-fashion.  Sign at the piercing kiosk states over 40 years experience.  That's marketing, another thing dogs don't succumb to.  If the thought for one millisecond is the person about to pierce the ears, as part of a $9 an hour position, has 40 years of life experience, not alone piercing expertise, there are other thoughts that should be coming.  The roulette wheel of luck can land on a shaky hand of the mall piercer or a confident lover of the art of hole lobe drilling.  Roll the dice, dogs won't - no opposable thumb for the flick, no opposable thumb for the ear-post receptacle either.
