Sorry if this one's been on before!
The butcher was working, and busily. He noticed a dog in his shop and shoo'd
him away. Later, he noticed that the dog was back. He walked towards it,
preparing to utter strong words, and noticed that the dog had a note in his
mouth. The butcher took the note, and read it: "Can I have 12 sausages and a
leg of lamb, please?"
The butcher looked at the dog again, and saw a ten pound note tucked into
his collar. So the butcher took the money, put the sausages and lamb in a
bag, and placed it in the dog's mouth. The dog trotted off down the road.
The butcher was very impressed, and since it was closing time, he threw his
apron on the block, shouted to his assistant to lock up, and followed the
dog. The dog walked down the street and came to a crossing. He put down the
bag, jumped up and pressed the crossing button. Then he waited patiently,
bag in mouth, for the lights to change. When they did, he walked across
the road, with the butcher following. The dog then came to a bus stop, and
started looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe at this stage.
The dog, having checked out the times, sat quietly on one of the seats to
wait for the bus. When the bus arrived, the dog walked to the front of the
bus, looked at the number, and returned to his seat. Another bus came.
Again the dog went and checked the number; satisfied that it was the right
bus, he climbed on. The butcher, by now open-mouthed, followed him onto the
bus. The bus traveled thru the town and out to the suburbs. Eventually the
dog got up, moved to the front of the bus, and, standing on his hind legs,
pushed the button to stop the bus.
The dog got off, groceries still in his mouth, and the butcher still
following. The dog approached a house. He walked up the path, and dropped
the groceries on the step. Then he walked back down the path, took a big
run, and threw himself against the door. He went back down the path, took
another run, and threw himself against the door again! There was no answer
at the door, so the dog picked up his bag, jumped up onto a narrow wall, and
walked along the perimeter of the garden. He got to a window, and banged
his head against it several times. He then walked back, jumped off the
wall, and waited at the door.
The butcher watched as a big guy opened the door, and started laying into
the dog, really yelling at him. The butcher ran up to stop the guy.
"What the heck are you doing? This dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for
God's sake!"
To which the guy responds, "Clever? I think not!
This is the second time this week he's forgotten his key!"
