Reminds me of........
That story in the paper of an old woman who had a phobia of flying. Years and years it took to convince her to go up in a plane and confront her fear / conform to societys ideals.

Of course when they finally got her up in a plane the bastarding thing crashed thus confirming her fear as totally rational..and surely disqualifying it from being a phobia. Not that it matters her being smashed into millions of pieces and all.


Anyway my fear is dogs. It's a mutual thing as I hate them and seemingly they ALL hate me. Always putting their snivelling nose in my hand - I know they want to bite me and whatever it is I hold (NOTHING IDIOT DOG). Sniffing my bum/groin.

Also whoever mentioned the "it's MY dog he won't bite ya" - you deserve bonus points because that is such a common phrase and inevitably ends in me getting savaged while the owner looks on.

Why can't all dogs just die?

I've never been bitten by a dog
But I'm always wary of them, as they always look like they want to bite me. I don't dislike dogs, although I wouldn't keep one, but I do prefer to keep my distance from them.

Because then there would be no-one to keep the cats
in check.
They would run amok and take over the world!

Germs
As you describe the woman as 'old', she would probably have been finished off by the virulent plethora of bacteria and viruses that are circulated by the closed circuit avaiation air-conditioning systems.

Really, the crash just saved her from months of slow relentless decline into ill-health that would have resulted in the poor old bag drowning in her own phlegm.
