No Sense at All

AlsatianSince 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.”

    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! :-D

    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! :-D
