Hounded Out

"Hounded Out"*

*Upon entering a little country store, a stranger noticed
a sign reading, "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."

"Dogged Out"*

*A timid little man ventured into a biker bar in the
Bronx and, clearing his throat, asked, "Um, err, which
of you gentlemen owns the Doberman tied outside
to the parking meter?"

A giant of a man wearing biker leathers with his body
hair growing out of the seams turned slowly on his stool.
He looked down at the quivering little man and said,
"It's my dog. Why?"

"Well," squeaked the little man, very nervous, "I believe
my dog just killed it, sir."

"What?" roared the big man in disbelief. "What in the
hell kind of dog do you have?"

"Sir," answered the little man, "It's a four-week-old puppy."

"Bull!" roared the biker, "How could your puppy kill my Doberman?"

"It appears that he choked on it, sir."
