A Construction Worker's Dog

"Skeleton"

A very large, old building was being torn down
in Chicago to make room for a new skyscraper.
Due to its proximity to other buildings it could
not be imploded and had to be dismantled
floor by floor.

While working on the 49th floor, two construction
workers found a skeleton in a small closet
behind the elevator shaft. They decided that
they should call the police.

When the police arrived they directed them to
the closet and showed them the skeleton fully
clothed and standing upright. They said, "This
could be Jimmy Hoffa or somebody really important."

Two days went by and the construction workers
couldn't stand it any more, they had to know who
they had found. They called the police and said,
"We are the two guys who found the skeleton in
the closet and we want to know if it was Jimmy
Hoffa or somebody important."

The police said, "No, it's not Jimmy Hoffa, but it
was somebody kind of important."

"Well, who was it?"

"The 1956 Blonde National Hide-and-Seek
Champion!"

"A Construction Worker's Dog"

Four workers were discussing how smart their
dogs were.

The first was an engineer, who said his dog
could do math with calculations. His dog was
named T-Square, and he told him to get some
paper and draw a square, a circle, and a triangle,
which the dog did with no sweat.

The accountant said he thought his dog was
better. This dog was named Slide Rule. He told
him to fetch a dozen cookies, bring them back,
and divide them into piles of three, which he did
with no problem.

The chemist said that was good, but he felt his dog
was better. His dog was named Measure. He was
told to get a quart of milk and pour seven ounces
into a ten-ounce glass. The dog did this with no problem.

All three of the men agreed this was very good, and
their dogs were equally smart. They all turned to the
construction worker and asked, "What can your dog do?

The construction worker called his dog, whose name
was Coffee Break, and said, "Show these fellows
what you can do!"

Coffee Break went over and ate the cookies, drank the
milk, crapped on the paper, screwed the other three
dogs and claimed he injured his back. While doing
so, filed a grievance for unsafe working conditions,
applied for workman's compensation and then clocked
out early on sick leave.
