Lil' Spot
Freddy got off the elevator on the 37th 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 Lil' Spot 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 cute lil' dog followed Paul onto the balcony and started rolling over. Paul made a hoop with his arms and Lil' Spot jumped right through -- and over the balcony railing. Just then Paul's date walked out.... "Isn't Lil' Spot the cutest, happiest dog you've ever seen?" "To tell the the truth," he replied, "he seemed a little depressed to me."
