Beware Of Dog

"Beware Of Dog"

Upon entering the little country store, the stranger
noticed a sign saying; DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!
posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a
harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides
the cash register.

He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks
are supposed to beware of?"

"Yep, that's him," he replied.

The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly
doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the
world would you post that sign?"

"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that
sign, people kept tripping over him."

"Do Not Talk To My Parrot"

Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called
a repairman. Since she had to go to work the
next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the
key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave
the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check."

"Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike.
He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT,
under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!"
"I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment
the following day, he discovered the biggest,
meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But,
just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the
carpet watching the repairman go about his work.

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time
with his incessant yelling, cursing and name
calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain
himself any longer and yelled,

"Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"

To which the parrot calmly replied, "Get him, Spike!"
