The dog is very smart. He feels sorry for me because I receive so much mail; that's why he tries to bite the mailman.
Interpretation
This quote humorously reflects on a dog's perspective of his owner's frustration with receiving too much mail.
Albert Einstein's quote provides a whimsical insight into a dog's perception of his owner's feelings. It suggests that the dog empathizes with his owner, imagining that the accumulation of mail is a burden, and reacts by trying to protect him from the 'threat' of the mailman. This playful interpretation highlights both the intelligence and loyalty often attributed to dogs, while also pointing out the absurdity of the situation.

A guy comes down to earth, takes your sins, dies, and comes back three days later. You believe in him and go to heaven forever. How do you get from that to Hide-The-Eggs? Did Jesus have a problem with eggs? Did he go, "When I come back, if I see any eggs, the whole salvation thing is off."
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy. Making people laugh one moment and the next making them feel really uncomfortable.
