Why?» «Well,» squeaked the little man, obviously very nervous, «I believe my dog just killed it, sir.» «What?» roared the big man in disbelief. «What in the hell kind of dog do you have?» «Sir,» answered the little man, «It’s a four week old puppy.» «Bull!» roared the biker, «How could your puppy kill my Doberman?» «It appears that he choked on it, sir.»
