The butcher and the dog

[iggy1966]

As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees
$10 and a note in his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops,
please."
Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the
dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows
the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look
both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The
dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a
bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at
the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows,
dumbstruck.

As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes
in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back
paws to push the "stop" button, then the butcher
follows him off.

The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the
stoop. He goes back down the path, takes a big run,
and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does
this again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a
wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against
a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A
big guy opens it and starts cursing and pummeling the
dog.

The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What the hell
are you doing? This dog's a genius!"

The owner responds, "Genius, my ass. It's the second
time this week he's forgotten his key!"
