“If you’re petting a small dog in your lap, it’s important to let everyone else in the zoom meeting know…”

A joke about zoom meetings was posted on X/Twitter by Matty on January 8, 2021:
 
“If you are petting a small dog in your lap, it is important to let everyone else in the zoom meeting know what you are doing with your hand.”
 
That is, everyone in on the zoom meeting should know that you’re petting a small dog in your lap, and not touching your genitals.
