One Smart Dog
A
butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day
when a dog with a
basket in its jaws comes pushing through
the door.
"An' wot's this
then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket
sharply into the butcher's
shins.
"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he
notices
a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.
The scribble on
the note asks for three pounds of his best
mince [ground beef]. The butcher
figures this is too easy. He goes
to the window and reaches for the dried up
stuff that's been
sitting out all day.
The dog growls at him. The
butcher turns around and, glaring
at the pup, gets the best mince from the
fridge. Weighing out about
2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his
thumb.
"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"
Again, the dog growls
menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he
throws on a generous half pound. He
wraps it out, drops it in the
basket, and drops in change from a five. The
dog threatens to chew
him off at the ankles.
Another five goes in the
basket.
The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the
piddy pup
home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the
lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for
the 12th floor.
The dog walks down the corridor and smartly
bangs the basket on the door. The
door opens, and the dog's
owner screams at the dog.
"Hey, what are you
doing? That's a really smart dog you've got
there," comments the
butcher.
"He's a stupid dog--that's the third time this week he's
forgotten his key.
