“You stupid boy, those were not lions, they were donkeys.”
“Well, those are what I mean!”
Snugger—“M. le Juge, I have been fined for letting my dog go about without a muzzle, and he certainly had one on.”
Judge—“The agent de police says your dog had no muzzle on.”
Snugger—“Indeed, he had one on, sir.”
Gendarme—“Yes, but he was not wearing it on his head.”
Snugger—“The regulations do not specify where a dog is to wear his muzzle—and so, to let the beast get his breath, I tied the muzzle to his tail.”
Judge—“Five francs fine. Next case!”
