The Dog

[milagros317]

Walking by the entrance to a cemetery, Joe sees a curious procession. Two coffins are being wheeled along, a man in a dark suit holding the leash of a big mean looking dog is right behind the coffins, and behind him there is a line of ten men who don't seem to be dressed for a funeral.

Joe walks over to the last man in the line and asks him, "What's going on?"

The man answers, "The two coffins hold what's left of the wife and of the mother-in-law of the guy in the suit. That dog he's leading tore them both to pieces."

"Do you suppose that he would let me borrow that dog?" asks Joe.

The man grins and answers, "Get in line behind me."

That's a classic, Milagros! 😀 Good stuff! I first heard it slightly differently:



A farmer drops by his neighbor's ranch-house leading a ferocious looking dog.

"Your mutt?" the visitor inquires.

"Why yes," replies the rancher. "So that's where he's been getting off to every morning. Hope he hasn't caused any trouble."

"Actually," the second farmer states gravely, "he seems to have it in for my mother-in-law. Waits for her to open our front door, then snarls and barks at her like crazy. It's really got her rattled. Matter of fact, today she became so frantic she tripped, falling over and breaking her hip."

"I see," says the first man. "So... I suppose you came over here to discuss money."

"You got that right," the visitor replies. "How much you want for him?"
