BUTCHER MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS > > > A butcher in his shop, and he's real busy, and he notices a dog in the shop. > He shoos him away. But later, he notices the dog is back again. So he goes > over to the dog, and notices he has a note in his mouth. He takes the note, > and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has > money in his mouth, as well." The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, > there is a ten dollar bill there. > > So he takes the money, and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it > in the dog's mouth. The butcher is well impressed, and since it's close to > closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. > The dog is walking down the street, when he comes to a level crossing. The > dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then he waits > patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks > across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. > > The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The > butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits > on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the > front, looks at the number, and goes back to his seat. Another bus comes. > Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it's the right bus, and > climbs on. The butcher, by now open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus. The > bus travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the dog looking at > the scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He > stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus. > > Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth. Well, dog and butcher > are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house. He walks up > the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he walks back down the > path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He goes > back down the path, runs up to the door and -Whap!- throws himself against > it again. There's no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the > path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the > garden. > > He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks > back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy > opens the door, and starts laying into the dog. Kicking him, punching him, > and swearing at him. The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What the hell > are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for Roc's sake!", to > which the guy responds "Clever, my eye. This is the second time this week > that he's forgotten his key." |
