Was the dog depressed?
Could there *be* a worse beginning to a first date?
The young man got off the elevator on the 40th floor and nervously knocked on his blind date’s door. She opened it and was as beautiful and charming as everyone had said.
‘I’ll be ready in a few minutes,’ she said. ‘Why don’t you play with my dog while you’re waiting? He does wonderful tricks. He rolls over, shakes hands, sits up and if you make a hoop with your arms, he’ll jump through.’
The dog followed him onto the balcony and started rolling over. Paul made a hoop with his arms and the obedient dog jumped through and went right over the balcony railing.
Just then the young lady date walked out.
‘Isn’t he just the cutest, happiest dog you’ve ever seen?’
‘To tell the the truth,’ he replied, ‘He seemed a little depressed to me.’
