It's no accident that Lassie was one of the few male dog stars; with that coat, who could tell? No embarrassing silhouette shots to upset the prudish that way. Yeah, but what about their Q-balls?

Also hidden under the hair. You know, however, that the black nosecap contains a highly-sophisticated neural network air data system. Let me see, I clicked on a web site that someone recommended the other day: http://marbella.to/humour/dec00/torero.jpg which fits in with the joke about the tourist and the special dish at the restaurant at the bull-fighting ring.

The problem was that the system was very fragile despite serious engineering work, and if the plane lost its GONNNADS, it usually augured very quickly. The NNNADS replaced the CADS, Collie Air Data System. ....Which the ASCPA had a hand in, after seeing how the Soviet system failed miserably with Sputnik 2.
