The Clown noticed that his dog had become lethargic, lazy, and fat. Being a considerate pet owner, the clown took his beloved pet to the veterinarian. After some initial confusion about whether the veterinarian ate meat, the clown described his problem to the doctor.
The veterinarian explained that there was nothing seriously wrong with the clown’s pet dog, and that it simply needed some exercise. “You need to make sure this dog runs around,” the doctor said. “Try playing a game of fetch with him.”
This news saddened the clown immensely. “I can’t play fetch with my dog!” said the clown, holding back tears.
“Why not?” asked the doctor.
The clown replied, “Don’t be silly! He can’t throw!”
The Clown's Dog
The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's.
~Mark Twain, letter to W.D. Howells
Elephants often communicate at sound levels as low as 5Hz. This means that if you flap your hands back and forth faster than five times a second, an elephant can actually hear the tone produced.
