Old Boxer

"Old Boxer"*

*A cop walking his usual beat sees an old man pulling
a box on a leash, down a busy street.

"Poor man," the cop thinks to himself. "I'd better go humor him."

"That' a nice dog you got there," says the cop to the old man.

"It isn't a dog, it's a box," replies the old man.

"Oh, I'm sorry," says the policeman, "I thought you were simple-minded."

The old man walks past the cop, then turns to his box,
and says, "We sure fooled him that time, didn't we, Rover?"

"Religious Dog"*

*This fundamentalist Christian couple felt it important
to own an equally fundamentally Christian pet, so,
they went shopping. At a kennel specializing in this
particular breed, they found a dog they liked quite a lot.

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.

That night they had friends over. They were so proud
of their new fundamentalist dog 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.
