A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.
"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.
"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.
The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground
beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window
and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.
The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the
pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2
pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.
"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"

Two roaches having a discussion
Two roaches were munching on garbage in an alley when one engages a discussion about a new restaurant.
"I was in that new restaurant across the street," said one. "It's so
clean! The kitchen is spotless, and the floors are gleaming white.
There is no dirt anywhere--it's so sanitary that the whole place
shines."
"Please," said the other roach frowning. "Not while I'm eating!"
Instrument flying guide for animal lovers
Having detailed the concept of
attitude control, there is another method which you may prefer. For
reasons that will become apparent, it is recommended for those pilots
whose airplanes have large, easily cleaned cabins. Known as the "Cat
and Duck Method" of instrument flight, it has received much publicity
and is considered to have a great deal of merit by those who have not
tried it. No reports have been received from those who did try it, and
none are expected. Pilots are invited to assess its merits objectively.
Basic rules for the C&D Method of instrument flight are fairly well known and are extremely simple. Here's how it's done:
1. Place a live cat on the cockpit floor; because a cat always remains
upright. It can be used in lieu of a needle and ball. Merely watch to
see which way the cat leans to determine if a wing is low and if so,
which one.
2. The duck is used for instrument approach and landing. Because of
the fact that any sensible duck will refuse to fly under instrument
conditions, it is only necessary to hurl your duck out of the plane and
follow it to the ground.

Baby bear wants to live somewhere else
The three bears had been having
some trouble recently and had ended up in family court. Mama and Papa
bear were splitting up, and baby bear had to decide who he was going to
live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he thought about
living with either of his parents. When he asked baby bear about living
with his father, baby bear said "No, I can't live with Papa bear, he
beats me terribly."
"OK," said the judge, "then you want to live with your mother, right?"
"No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me worse than Papa bear does."
The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know what to do.
"Well, you have to live with someone, so is there any relatives you
would like to stay with?" asked the judge.
"Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear who lives in Chicago."
"You're sure she will treat you well and won't beat you?" asked the judge.
"Oh definitely," said baby bear, "the Chicago Bears don't beat anybody."
An amazing talking dog
A man and his dog walk into a bar. The man proclaims, "I'll bet you a round of drinks that my dog can talk."
Bartender: "Yeah! Sure...go ahead."
Man: "What covers a house?"
Dog: "Roof!"
Man: "How does sandpaper feel?"
Dog: "Rough!"
Man: "Who was the greatest ball player of all time?"
Dog: "Ruth!"
Man: "Pay up. I told you he could talk."
The bartender, annoyed at this point, throws both of them out the door.
Sitting on the sidewalk, the dog looks at the guy and says, "or is the
greatest player Mantle?"
A burglar is in big trouble
A burglar has just made it into
the house he's intending ransacking, and he's looking around for stuff
to steal. All of a sudden, a little voice pipes up, "I can see you, and
so can Jesus!"
Startled, the burglar looks around the room. No one there at all, so he goes back to his business.
"I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
The burglar jumps again, and takes a longer look around the room. Over
in the corner by the window, almost obscured by curtains, is a cage in
which sits a parrot, who pipes up again, "I can see you, and so can
Jesus!"
"So what," says the burglar, "you're only a parrot!"
To which the parrot replies, "Maybe, but Jesus is a rottweiler!"
The preacher buys a parrot
A preacher is buying a parrot.
"Are you sure it doesn't scream, yell, or swear?" asked the preacher.
"Oh absolutely. It's a religious parrot," the storekeeper assures him.
"Do you see those strings on his legs? When you pull the right one, he
recites the lord's prayer, and when you pull on the left he recites the
23rd Psalm."
"Wonderful!" says the preacher, "but what happens if you pull both strings?"
"I fall off my perch, you stupid fool!" screeched the parrot.

The plumber has arrived
A lady was expecting the plumber;
he was supposed to come at ten o'clock. Ten o'clock came and went; no
plumber; eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, one o'clock; no plumber.
She concluded he wasn't coming, and went out to do some errands. While she was out, the plumber arrived.
He knocked on the door; the lady's parrot, who was at home in a cage by the door, said, "Who is it?"
He replied, "It's the plumber."
He thought it was the lady who'd said, "Who is it?" and waited for her
to come and let him in. When this didn't happen he knocked again, and
again the parrot said, "Who is it?"
He said, "It's the plumber!"

You could feed them a lot faster
There was once a man from the
city who was visiting a small farm, and during this visit he saw a
farmer feeding pigs in a most extraordinary manner. The farmer would
lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, and the pig would eat the apples
off the tree directly. The farmer would move the pig from one apple to
another until the pig was satisfied, then he would start again with
another pig.
The city man watched this activity for some time with great
astonishment. Finally, he could not resist saying to the farmer, "This
is the most inefficient method of feeding pigs that I can imagine. Just
think of the time that would be saved if you simply shook the apples
off the tree and let the pigs eat them from the ground!"
The farmer looked puzzled and replied, "What's time to a pig?"
I'll use my seeing eye dog
A blind man with a seeing eye dog
at his side walks into a grocery store. The man walks to the middle of
the store, picks up the dog by the tail, and starts swinging the dog
around in circles over his head.
The store manager, who has seen all this, thinks this is quite strange.
So, he decides to find out what's going on. The store manager
approaches the blind man swinging the dog and says, "Pardon me. May I
help you with something."
The blind man says, "No thanks. I'm just looking around."
Never talk to the parrot
Mrs. Peterson phoned the
repairman because her dishwasher quit working. He couldn't accommodate
her with an "after-hours" appointment and since she had to go to work,
she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dish washer,
leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check. By the way, I
have a large rotweiler inside named Killer; he won't bother you. I
also have a parrot, and whatever you do, do not talk to the bird!"
Well, sure enough the dog, Killer, totally ignored the repairman, but
the whole time he was there, the parrot cursed, yelled, screamed, and
about drove him nuts.
As he was ready to leave, he couldn't resist saying, "You stupid bird, why don't you shut up!"
To which the bird replied, "Killer, get him!!!"
The story of the bats
Two vampire bats wake up in the
middle of the night, thirsty for blood. One says, "Let's fly out of the
cave and get some blood."
"We're new here," says the second one. "It's dark out, and we don't
know where to look. We'd better wait until the other bats go with us."
The first bat replies, "Who needs them? I can find some blood somewhere." He flies out of the cave.
When he returns, he is covered with blood.
The second bat says excitedly, "Where did you get the blood?"
The first bat takes his buddy to the mouth of the cave. Pointing into the night, he asks, "See that black building over there?"
"Yes," the other bat answers.
"Well," says the first bat, "I didn't."
Worries about mad cow disease
There were these two cows, chatting over the fence between their fields.
The first cow said, "I tell you, this mad-cow-disease is really pretty
scary. They say it is spreading fast; I heard it hit some cows down on
the Johnson Farm."
The other cow replies, "I ain't worried, it don't affect us ducks."
Steven Wright on dogs
The other day, I was walking my
dog around my building...on the ledge. Some people are afraid of
heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
I had a dog once. I spilled spot remover on him, and now he's gone.
I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats
on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.
I bought a dog the other day... I named him Stay. It's fun to call
him... "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he
just ignores me and keeps typing. He's an East German Shepherd
Three very tough mice
Three rats are sitting at the bar talking bragging about their bravery and toughness.
The first says, "I'm so tough, once I ate a whole bagful of rat poison!"
The second says, "Well I'm so tough, once I was caught in a rat trap and I bit it apart!"
Then the third rat gets up and says, "Later guys, I'm off home to harass the cat."
A good chess player
A man went to visit a friend and
was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game
in astonishment for a while. "I can hardly believe my eyes!" he
exclaimed. "That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."
"Nah, he's not so smart," the friend replied. "I've beaten him three games out of five."
