Since today is Friday (at least here it is), and I’m packing up for a trip out of town next week, how about this one:
An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

Say, do us all a favor, won't you? We’re fairly easy-going around these here parts, but please do NOT enter a keyword phrase or a business, product or service name as YOUR name in the comment section. It will likely get your comment labeled as spam and deleted. You MAY, however, use a real name, nickname or handle, along with a brief identifying phrase, such as "Big Bubba, Midnight Cowboy." Thanks a herd, and a tip o’ the hat to ya!
Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Those inscrutible Alsatians…
I always knew they were smart dogs, but this photo kinda makes you wonder, “Just what ARE you thinkin’, fella…”
My cats got a good chuckle out of the post (but the photo kind of scared them).
Brad, send your cats here, then be prepared for shock trauma!
That is a good one.
Whenever I tell my wife little stories like that I am testing out the story. If she looks puzzled I scrap it. If she smiles I usually scrap it.
But if she laughs out loud I know I’m on a winner.
She laughed at this one.
Mrs. MZM, when told this one, she just rolled her eyes. That’s a sure sign of a winner to me!
I don’t know why this sort of thing appeals to me, but there it is. But then I’ve always been a big fan of the unexpected ending.
Good one!
The look on some peoples face after a story like this is sometimes more funny then the joke itself.
I have to completely agree, Matthijs!
