Pride and Panic:

Lawyer’s Dog:

A lawyer’s dog, running about unleashed, beelines for a butcher shop and steals a roast. Butcher goes to lawyer’s office and asks, “if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog’s owner?” The lawyer answers, “Absolutely.”

“Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today.”

The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50.

A week later the butcher opens the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer. It was a $20 bill for a consultation.

I Need a 710 Cap:

A lady goes into an auto parts store and asks for a seven-ten cap.

All the clerks look at each other, and one says, “What’s a seven-ten cap?”

She says, “You know, it’s right on the engine. Mine got lost and some how and I need a new one.”

“What kind of a car is it on?” the clerk asked.

“My 1999 Chevrolet.”

“Okay lady, how big is it?”

She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

The clerk asks, “What does it do?”

“I don’t know, but its always been there.”

By now, the manager has come over. He hands the lady a note pad and asks her if she could draw a picture of it. The customer carefully draws a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. In the center she writes “710.”

The guys behind the counter, who are looking at the drawing upside down, can barely control their laughter as the boss walks to a shelf, grabs an OIL cap and puts in on the counter.

“That’s it!” the lady says. “How much?”

“It’s on the house,” the manager replied. “Please come back often. You have no idea how entertaining it was waiting on you.”
