A salesman dropped in to see a business customer. Out of the corner of his eye he notices a large dog who appears to be emptying wastebaskets.

The salesman stared at the animal, wondering if his imagination was playing tricks on him.

The dog looked up and said, "My friend, don't be surprised. This is just part of my job."

"Amazing!" exclaimed the man. "I simply can't believe it. Does your boss realise what a prize he has in you? An animal...that can talk!"

"No, no, no!!" pleaded the dog. "Please don't! If that man discovers I can talk, he'll be making me answer the phones as well"
