C.: I wonder if d.c. is home yet? He was working offshift with the crew that has the nurse that rides a scooter and another who is on a walker. I'll bet he needs some cheering up. I will call him and tell him some dog jokes. That should cheer him up! (ring)
d.: Hello?
C.: Hey, d.c., what do you call a dog with no legs?
d.: Does it matter? He cannot come!
C.: I call him a "good dog" because he cannot bother me! (hehe) What do you call a dog with three legs (because one got caught in a trap and he had to gnaw it off), one ear (because the other had been shot off in a hunting accident), no tail, (because he had to have it chopped off by his vet due to an infection), and was recently castrated?
d.:??
C.: I call him "Lucky" at least for me, because he will not bother me either. He has too many problems of his own!
d.: You wouldn't , by any chance, be eating catnip, would you, Cal.E.?
C.: Oh, yes. THAT is why I was calling you, actually. My paycheck does not come until Friday, and I was broke. The bus stopped at the store, and I had a rough day. I wanted some catnip. Another cat offered me five dollars for my paperback copy of your book, so I sold it to him for that price and bought some catnip with the sawbuck. I was reading the book, though, and wanted to finish it. I decided that a kindle version that I could read on my phone may be better, since I never go anywhere without my phone. I looked up "Precision, An Act of Passion" on Amazon, but could not find the kindle version of your book. Then, I typed in the original title, "Precision; The Original Magruder Mystery" and found it. I am still on chapter one, though.
d.: Maybe I should let you go, so you can finish reading. That is, unless you have some more dog jokes for me.
C.: Hmm, Let's see... What is a dog dentist's favorite tooth?
d.: The canine.
C.: Okay. What rock 'n' roll song does a dog listen to after a bath?
d.: Shake, Rattle and Roll.
C.: What kind of dog keeps the best time?
d.: A watchdog. Cal.E., you are not reading my book, you are reading a dog joke book for kids!
C.: Oh, my bad. I need to scroll down and find YOUR book. Let's see, chapter one... Hey, d.c. Who IS the narrator?
d.: Read the WHOLE book, Cal.E., front cover to back cover, and you will find out.
C.: I should get started then. Have a better day tomorrow, d.c.
d.: I will, Cal.E. Your jokes always brighten my day!
