Upon
entering the little country store, the
stranger noticed a sign saying;
DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the
glass door.
Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the
floor besides
the cash register.
He asked the store
manager, „Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to
beware of?“
„Yep,
that’s him,“ he replied.
The stranger couldn’t help but be
amused. „That certainly doesn’t
look like a dangerous dog to me. Why
in the world would you post that
sign?“
„Because,“ the
owner replied, „before I posted that sign, people
kept tripping over
him.“
