Once there was a circus that was without a doubt
the best circus in
the world because it boasted the best lion tamer in
the world. He was
spectacular, the lions would do whatever he said,
the high point of
course was that he would stick his head in a lion's
mouth.
When the circus started losing money the owner
started selling off
animals and equipment to help meet expenses.
He called the Lion Tamer into his office.
"I'd really like to keep you on, because you keep
the circus going,"
the owner said. "But I've had to sell your lions
because they cost
too much to feed. Still, you're good, and we need
you, so if you can
come up with an act with what we have left, you've
got a job."
"Well, I do need a job," the Lion Tamer said. "What
animals do you
have left?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," the owner said, "the
only animal I
have left is my faithful old Bassett hound. I'd
never sell him!"
"I'll take him," said the Tamer.
So the Lion Tamer worked with the Bassett hound and
taught him the
entire lion act.
The dog caught on right away, but there was a
problem: no way was
the Lion Tamer's head going to fit into the dog's
mouth. "My foot
will fit," the Lion Tamer said, so he tried it, and
sure enough the
dog picked that up too.
Opening night, the Lion Tamer did the act with the
Bassett hound,
and the crowd loved it. They'd never seen anything
like it before.
At the end of the act, when the Lion Tamer put his
foot into the
dog's mouth, the crowd went wild.
"Encore, encore!" the crowd yelled.
Well, the Lion Tamer hadn't thought of an encore
before, so he
thought to himself, "If one foot is good, two is
better."
So he stuck his other foot into the dog's mouth.
Well, the two feet together are almost as big as
the dog's head, so
the dog was choking and gasping, and finally out of
self-
preservation, he clamped his jaws shut, biting off
the Lion Tamer's
legs at mid-calf.
The moral of the story is:
Don't put all your legs in one Bassett.
