dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back
again.
So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth. He
takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please?
The dog has money in its mouth, as well."
The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten
dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag,
placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's
about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog.
So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes
to a level crossing; the dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the
button.
Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do,
and it walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The
dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable.
The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left
leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus.
The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor.
The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in
the bus. The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside. As
soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform
the conductor.
Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps
out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop. It opens the big Iron
Gate and pushes inside towards the door. As it approaches the wooden door,
the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards the garden. It goes
to the window, and beats its head against it several times, walks back, jumps
off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and
starts beating the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at
him.
The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and stops the guy.
"What in heaven's name are you doing?"
"The dog is a genius.
He could be on TV, for the life of me!"
To which the guy responds:
"You call this clever? This is the second time this week that
this stupid dog's forgotten his key."
Moral of the story.....
You may continue to exceed on lookers expectations but shall
always fall short of the boss' expectations.
It's a dogs life after all.....
