A nice comfy cushion please

This Tuesday night found me in the unusual situation of bending over a toilet seat with lowered trousers while the piano teacher from the room downstairs closely examined my inner thigh from the back brandishing a big spraycan.
Well it was like this; I arrived for work heavily burdened with music books, laptop etc, and saw a woman of a certain age (mine) pushing her broken down car outside the studios.
"Do you need help?" I asked, little knowing what was in store. "I'll just put my things away and be right back down" So I did and I was.

As we were shouldering the car together, a young man( dreadlocked and nose ringed) was walking past with three dogs on leads. "Why dont you attach your dogs and give us a hand?" I said.
He came over and set to, but kept the dogs with him, next to me. One was a golden retriever, another a boxer and a third indeteminate thingy. As we picked up speed I felt a sudden tearing pain and realised that one of them had sunk its teeth into the juicier part of my thigh...

As I ran into the studios he called, "It's alright, they have all had their rabies vaccinations!"

That's alright then...
