A dog walks into a butcher shop with a
purse attached around his neck. He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there
until it's his turn to be waited on. A man, who is already in the butcher shop,
finished his purchase and notices the dog.
The butcher leaned over the counter and
asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put his paw on the glass case in front of the
ground beef, and the butcher said, "How many pounds?" The dog barked
twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds of ground beef.
He then said, "Anything
else?" The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher said, "How
many?" The dog barked four times, and the butcher made up a package of four
pork chops.
The dog then walked around behind the
counter, so the butcher could get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate
amount of money and tied the two packages of meat around the dog's neck.
The man who had been watching all this
time, decided to follow the dog. It walked for several blocks and then trotted up to
a house where it began to scratch the door to be let in.
As the owner appeared at the door, the man
said to him, "That's a really smart dog you have there." The owner
replied, "He's not all that smart. This is the second time this week he
forgot his key."
