"Great Act"
This old guy comes into a pub with a dog, and
a cat which he placed on top of the piano. The
dog climbed up on the piano seat and began to
play the piano while the cat sang a number of
popular songs.
The drinkers in the pub were amazed and the
publican rewarded the old man with a double
scotch and said,
"That's a great act. Have you thought of taking
them professional?"
"They are not as good as you think" confessed
the old man. "The cat is tone deaf and can't sing
a note. The dog is a ventriloquist."

"Dog Tricks"
A devout couple felt it important to own an equally
devout pet. So, they went shopping. At a kennel
specializing in this particular breed, they found a
dog they liked.
When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did
it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up
Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws
with dexterity. They were impressed, purchased
the animal, and went home--devoutly.
That night they had friends over. They were so proud
of their new pet and his major skills, they called the
dog and showed off a little. The friends were impressed,
and asked whether the dog was able to do any of the
usual dog tricks, as well. This stopped the couple cold,
as they hadn't thought about "normal" tricks.
Well, they said, "let's try this out." Once more they
called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the
command, "Heel!" Quick as a wink, the dog jumped
up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes
in concentration, and bowed his head.
