A couple of my neighbors were discussing dogs they've owned over the years and the subject of the dumbest dog they ever had came up. Well Bob jumped the gun and boasted that he had the dumbest dog ever. Old Zeke, he said once saw me fall through the ice in the pond one winter and broke down the front door to come running out to save me. Just as I was going down for the last time, he gripped me by my coat collar, dragged me into the house, fetched a cup of coffee for me, milk and double sugar.
Geez, my friend Dick yelled "that's no dumb dog, he sounds pretty smart !" Smart, ****, Bob snarls back, "Everybody knows I don't take cream and sugar in my coffee !"
