Among the visitors at a Dog Show at Atlantic City, N. J., was a very
tall man who complained to an exhibitor that his dog, a very diminutive
specimen, had bitten him on the ankle. The exhibitor looked the man
over, and then said with a charming down-East drawl:
"Well, stranger, I reckon you are about six feet tall. This here dog o'
mine ain't more'n six inches high. He bit you on the ankle, did he?
Well, I'm sorry, but you couldn't naturally expect so small a dog to
bite you on the neck."
