Amy is sitting in a Disney office at a meeting table making polite conversation with her co-workers.
AMY: So I was watching “Stand by Me” last night, I love that scene where they are all asking random questions around the camp fire and they ask “Mickey’s a mouse, Donald’s a duck, Pluto’s a dog…. What the hell is Goofy?” Goofy is totally a dog!? What else could he be!? We know him personally.
Silence. Co-worker stare at Amy. There are many uncomfortable stares and shifting in the seats.
DISNEY BOSS: Deadly serious. Amy. Goofy is not a dog. He is a “Man-Dog.” He must never be referred to as just a dog.
AMY: Laughing. Um… what? A man dog? What the hell is a man dog? He’s a dog!
DISNEY BOSS: Deadly. Amy. You have to understand this. Pluto is a dog who is a pet – we refer to him as a dog. Goofy is a dog that exhibits human characteristics - therefore we refer to him as a man-dog.
AMY: So… is Mickey a man-mouse? Is Donald a man-duck? Mickey drives a car, Donald takes showers -
DISNEY BOSS: AMY! Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck and GOOFY IS A MAN DOG! That is all the explanation you need.
Disney boss slaps notebook onto the desk, promptly ending the conversation.
AMY: Quietly. Ok… Goofy is a man dog. ‘nuff said.

OHMYGOD. man oh mandog this is my favourite story in all of the world.
Does that mean he's related to the John Candy character in "Spaceballs" - he was a Mog & I quote, "I'm half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!"
