 A butcher is working, and really busy.  He notices a
 dog in his shop and shoos him away.  Later, he
 notices the dog is back again.
 
 He walks over to the dog, and notices the dog has a
 note in his mouth. The butcher takes the note, and it
 reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb,
 please."
 
 The butcher looks, and lo and behold, in the dog's
 mouth there is a ten dollar bill.  So the butcher
 takes the money, puts the sausages and lamb in a bag,
 and places it in the dog's mouth.
 
 The butcher is very impressed, and since it's closing
 time, he decides to close up shop and follow the dog.
 So, off he goes.
 
 The dog is walking down the street and comes to a
 crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and
 presses the crossing button.  Then he waits
 patiently, bag in mouth, for the light to change.  It
 does, and he walks across the road, with the butcher
 following.
 
 The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking
 at the timetable. The butcher is in awe at this
 stage. The dog checks out the times, and sits on one
 of the seats to wait for the bus.
 
 Along comes a bus.  The dog goes and looks at the
 number, notices it's the right bus, and climbs on.
 The butcher, by now open-mouthed, follows him onto
 the bus.
 
 The bus travels through town and out to the suburbs.
 Eventually the dog gets up, moves to the front of the
 bus, and standing on his hind legs, pushes the button
 to stop the bus.  The dog gets off, groceries still
 in his mouth, and the butcher still following.
 
 They walk down the road, and the dog approaches a
 house.  He walks up the path, and drops the groceries
 on the step.  Then he walks back down the path, takes
 a big run, and throws himself -- whap! -- against the
 door.  He goes back down the path, takes another run,
 and throws himself -- whap! -- against the door gain!
 There's no answer at the door, so the dog goes back
 down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks
 along the perimeter of the garden.  He gets to a
 window, and bangs his head against it several times.
 He walks back, jumps off the wall, and waits at the
 door.  The butcher watches as a big guy opens the
 door, and starts laying into the dog, really yelling
 at him.
 
 The butcher runs up and stops the guy.  "What the
 heck are you doing? This dog is a genius. He could be
 on TV, for God's sake!"  To which the guy responds,
 "Clever, my eye.  This is the second time this week
 he's forgotten his key!"
