DACHSHUNDS
An Englishman sat at a New York boarding-house table. One of the boarders was telling a story in which a "dachshund" figured. She was unable for a moment to think of the word.
"It was one of these—what do you call them?—one of these long German dogs."
The Englishman dropped his fork: his face beamed. "Frankfurters!"
