THE BUTCHER'S PLIGHT

A LITTLE BOY WENT TO THE BUTCHER SHOP AND
ASKED THE BUTCHER FOR A BONE WITH SOME MEAT ON IT
FOR HIS DOG. THEN THE LITTLE BOY ADDED, "MAKE
SURE IT'S BETTER THAN THE ONE YOU GAVE ME YESTERDAY
BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD MY DAD COULDN'T EVEN EAT IT."

Submitter comment: THE INFORMANT HEARD THIS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD
