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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;stop&#8221; button, then the butcher follows him off.<\/p>\n<p>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! &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p>The butcher runs up screams at the guy: &#8220;What the hell are you doing?

I can&#8217;t stand to see a man cry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This day is the worst of my life,&#8221; the man says, mopping at his tears with his sleeve. &#8220;First, I got fired for oversleeping and getting to work late. I was only three months from vesting my pension! Then, as I&#8217;m leaving the building, I find out my car was stolen. I get in a cab to return home and I forget my wallet and credit cards in the cab. Then, I go inside and find my wife in bed with my best friend!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is rough,&#8221; the bully admits.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s more!&#8221; the dejected man says. &#8220;So I end up at this bar, and just when I was mustering up the courage to put an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison!&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A lawyer helped an elderly client make a minor amendment to her will.<\/p>\n<p>It only took a few minutes, and at the end session, she asked how much she owed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;$100,&#8221; replied the lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>She slipped her hand into her purse, and then handed him a crisp new $100 bill, and shuffled from the room.<\/p>\n<p>Putting away his papers, he then placed the money into his desk and realized she had given him two $100 bills &#8212; they were stuck together.<\/p>\n<p>This presented the lawyer with an ethical quandary \u2013 should he tell his partner?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve had a variation of this one before.
