[Dailydrool] Be aware of the dog sign

[Bonnie Bostelman]

      "Beware of Dog"


            Upon entering a little country store, a stranger noticed a sign 
reading, "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."
