      Because they can not take baths when they need to get clean. Their mothers licked them to clean them so they do the same for themselves. It's what they know.

                        An old guy was sitting at a bus stop with his dog just having a rest.


                        The dog was enthusiastically licking it's private parts.


                        A young guy waiting for a bus commented,"jeez,I wish I could do that".


                        The old guy replied," Well,you can if you like but I'd pat him first if I were You".
