# I was working with the assumption that the person didn't know how to optimise,
so rather than kill the board while they worked it out, it would be better to delete it; however, this wasn't necessary, so instead we get a picture of a dog... RIS?

It as a picture I engraved on a mirror, with a laser. I was pleased with it.

# Ahhhhh
I see. That's pretty cool. Any particular reason for a picture of a dog? If I were to engrave something on a mirror I'd probably go for something else, like an obscure film still, or 'Ce n'est pas un miroir' in nice curly writing.

I was asked for it. "A brindled Great Dane on Almuñecar beach". Mine is not to reason why.

# You should have said
"Hang on a minute, I think I've got a few of those out the back. You'd be amazed how often we get asked for that. We've started doing them in a range of tinted glass colours too, y'know, for the kiddies. They love mirrors etched with a picture of a brindled Great Dane on Almuñecar beach."

In the end, I had to steal the great dane. And it's no fun jumping over fences with a great dane tucked under your arm. But I asked afterwards, so all is OK.
Here in spain, the heat drives a lot of dogs mental, so the spanish don't have anything you can't drop-kick over the fence.
