DOGGY TALES
An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: ‘Woof. Woof. Woof woof woof. Woof. Woof woof. Woof.’
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price."
"But," the dog replied, "that would make no sense at all."

A man took his Rottweiler to the vet and said to the vet: "My dog’s cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for it?"
"Well," said the vet, "let’s have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and has a good look at its eyes, its ears, its teeth, everything.
"Well," he says finally, "I’m going to have to put him down."
"Just because he’s cross-eyed?" cries the man.
"No," says the vet, "because he’s heavy."

What’s valued on earth....
A very rich man was dying and wanted to take his wealth with him. He ordered his staff to pack all his gold bricks in a huge suitcase.
Upon arriving at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter asked what was in the case. "Everything that I valued on earth," the man replied.
St. Peter opened the suitcase, had a look and, frowning, asked, "You brought pavement?"

Life After Death
"Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his employees. "Yes, sir," the new recruit replied.
"That’s good," his boss continued, "because after you left early to go to your grandmother’s funeral yesterday, she stopped in to see you."
