THE
SMARTEST DOG
A
doctor, an engineer, and a lawyer go out hunting in the
woods one day. Each of them brings along his hunting dog,
and they spend most of the morning arguing about which of
the dogs is the smartest.
Early in the afternoon, they discover a clearing in the
forest. In the middle of the clearing is a large pile of
animal bones. Seeing the bones, the doctor turns to the
others and says: "I'm going to prove to you two that
my dog is the smartest. Watch this."
He then calls his dog over and says: "Bones. See the
bones? Go get 'em."
The dog rushes over to the pile, rummages around for a bit,
and then proceeds to build a replica of the human skeleton,
perfect down to the last detail. The doctor grins smugly.
Totally unimpressed, the engineer says: "That's nothing.
Watch this." He calls his dog over, and points out
the pile. "Bones. Get the bones.
The dog rushes over, tears down the skeleton, and in its
place builds a perfect replica of the Eiffel Tower. It even
has little French flag waving at the top. The doctor is
forced to agree the engineer's dog is smarter than his.
The lawyer, however, is still not impressed. "My dog
is smarter. Watch." He then calls his dog over, points
to the pile, and says simply "Bones."
The dog rushes over to the pile, tears down the tower, eats
half the bones, buries the other half, screws the other
two dogs, and takes the rest of the afternoon off.
