This is a serious question: What's the most effective, yet socially
acceptable way to get SOMEONE ELSE'S dog to stop jumping on you, if the
someone else is a person you'd like to speak to again in the future, even
though they're sort of clueless dolts when it comes to their dog?

Other than getting the other person to control their dog?

Simplest and most effective is to grab their paws and not let go -
untrained dogs hate that.

I'll try the paws thing. Maybe if I give it a cigarette, too, it'll stay
occupied while I get my coat off.
