Renting an Apartment

"Renting an Apartment"

A property manager of single-family residence
was showing a unit to prospective tenants
and asking the usual questions.

"Professionally employed?" he asked.

"We're a military family," the wife answered.

"Children?"

"Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve," she answered proudly.

"Animals?"

"Oh, no," she said earnestly. "They're very well behaved."

"Dog Ownership Has its Rewards"

I had worked late, and my Labrador was so overjoyed
to see me arrive home that he jumped up just as I
leaned down. Our heads collided, and I sported an
impressive shiner for several weeks.

I had to repeat frequently to co-workers and friends
how I came by it, and one day on the elevator, a
secretary whom I hadn't seen for some time looked
at my black eye and exclaimed, "My goodness, what
happened to you?"

"The dog did it," I wearily replied.

A man standing next to us looked over at me and
said knowingly, "Ahh, you must own a boxer."
