A dog walks into a bar and hops up onto a chair.
He gets the bartender's attention and says "I'd like a beer, please."
The bartender is shocked. "Hey, you can talk!" He exclaims.
"Of course I can talk," says the mutt. "I can do lots of things. I can even
tend bar. I make a mean margarita."
The bartender thinks for a minute and says "OK, if you tend bar the rest
of the night you can have all your drinks on the house."
"Deal," says the dog and jumps over the counter.
The bartender stands back and watches as the mutt goes into action.
The dog pours perfect beers and carries them in his paws without
spilling a drop. He uses his wet nose to press the buttons on the soda
machine, mixing amazing drinks while using his clever curly tail
to hold the bottles.
He makes witty small talk and even sings a few drinking songs.
By the end of the night, the place is packed, there's a line out of the door
and the tip jar is overflowing.
The manager is overjoyed. He puts his arm around the mutt
and says "You've earned your free beer! How would you like to do this
again tomorrow?"
The dog thinks for a moment and shakes his head. "Sorry, I can't."
The manger is dismayed. "Why not?" He cries.
"Well," the dog says, "tomorrow is Thursday and I have to fill in
for my dentist."
Get it? Fill in?
