A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner
'Mom & Pop' grocery picking out a pretty good size box
of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over, and, trying
to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry
to do. 'Oh, no laundry,' the boy said, 'I'm going to wash
my dog.' 'But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog.
It's very powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll
get sick. In fact, it might even kill him.' But the boy
was not to be stopped and carried the detergent to the
counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried
to talk him out of washing his dog.
About a week later the boy was back in the store
to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog
was doing. 'Oh, he died,' the boy said. The grocer, trying
not to be an I-told-you-so, said he was sorry the dog
died but added, 'I tried to tell you not to use that detergent
on your dog.' 'Well,' the boy replied, 'I don't think
it was the detergent that killed him.' 'Oh? What was it
then?'
'I think it was the spin cycle!' the boy
replied again. |
