Didja hear the one ...

When it comes to our plea for pet jokes, it's not exactly raining cats and dogs. (Hence, no danger of stepping in a poodle.) But we could use more.

So, in an attempt to pick up the pace, and add to our collection, I offer this one, from the Nevada Appeal, which attributes it to one Jo Ann Gardner:

Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female poodle.

The three males fall all over themselves, slobbering and hoping for a favorable glance from her. She notices this and decides that the first one who can use the words 'liver' and 'cheese' in an imaginative and intelligent sentence, can have her affections.

The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up and says, "I love liver and cheese."

"'How childish," says the poodle. "That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever."

The tall, shiny golden retriever steps up and says, "Um, I HATE liver and cheese."

"Pitiful," says the poodle.

She then turns to the last, and smallest, of the three -- a chihuahua. He gives her a sly wink, turns to the golden retriever and the lab and says ...

"Liver alone ... cheese mine."

Awright. I don't think I've ever mentioned in a comment that I once had a dog named Great Reluctance. I liked him because when I took him out for his walk, I could turn to my husband and say, "I'm leaving with Great Reluctance."

I also had a dog named Physician. That was great because after he graduated from obedience school and I wanted to walk him on a leash, all I had to do was say, "Physician! Heel thyself. . . "

Ugh.

Joke #1...

A man bets his friend that his dog can catch a brick thrown in the air, no matter how high it's thrown.

They throw a brick 10 feet in the air and wait - one, two, three, four seconds and it comes down and the dog catches it.

They throw a brick 30 feet in the air and wait, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight seconds. It comes down and the dog catches it.

The friend decides to put the brick in a cannon and shoots it way, way up in the air so far it disappears. They wait, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..... (we'll return to this joke soon)

Joke #2...

A man and his yapping dog are sitting on a plane next to a man smoking a stinky cigar (obviously, a joke from the past). The more the one man smokes, the more the other man's dog yaps.

The situation escalates until finally nobody on the plane can stand it. After a short discussion, they reluctantly agree to throw both the cigar and the dog out of the plane.

Both offending items are jettisoned and for a time, peace ensues. But soon, the men hear a rapping on the window. They look over and are startled to see the dog, flying alongside the plane. And do you know what the dog had in its mouth?


A brick.
