[Humour] Joke de jour

[Titanic]

I was in the park the other day, and this nice old man asked me if I would like to stroke his Cocker Spaniel.

I chose the spaniel.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

How did it smell?

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Why does Spaniel have a capital S in the first line but a small s in the second?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Just to clarify, some chap was in the park walking a dog and a chicken?

I'd have stroked the chicken, after all you don't get the chance every day....

He only gave you once option so you didn't really make a choice did you

Man walks into the house with a duck under his arm and says this is the pig I’ve been f#cking, his wife says that’s not a pig it’s a duck, the fella replied I wasn’t talking to you

Because the old man was a proper nounce

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Well? Finish the story please. What did you choose the spaniel for?

An excellent decision.

By accepting his kind permission to stroke his dog, it's clear that you weren't prepared to rub him up the wrong way.

 

[Stato]

Good job he didn't have a cockapoo.

It is clear that by describing him as 'nice' that perhaps you were seeking a contrary experience. It may also be that you were soliciting in some way. It is also clear that you fully understood that he was referring to his dog rather than anything else.

I would advise the old man to avoid that park

Which park was it?

I chose the spaniel.

I'm not sure I understand where the 'choice' was within the question. If he had said 'would like to stroke my cockOR spaniel?' then I can understand why you thought he was asking you to choose. But he clearly said 'would you like to stroke my cockER spaniel?'. Which doesn't really make sense, unless he was of a forgetful nature and was saying 'er' to give him time to remember the second half of the dog breed. But even then, I cannot see what choice he is offering you. Maybe he just had a strong accent or something?

I don’t believe a word of it

What you mean you think it's a cock and bull story, not a spaniel after all? This is getting more confusing by the minute.

What about the Spaniels ears

Apparently he stole the dog and chucked it down a hole workmen were digging in a nearby road.

Throwing a spaniel in the works.
