"The storyboard artists drew the dog and the businessperson as men.
Hanawalt changed them to women. Women never seemed to take part in the
show's gross, silly little sight gags, and she wanted to see them
represented. Bob-Waksberg's first reaction was that she'd slowed down
the joke, and he tried to get her to change it back."

Good article on gender representation.  Via Kee Hinckley.
