In a small local tavern, all the patrons became quite used to
the owners little dog being around the bar, so, understandably,
were quite upset when one day the little dog died.
Everyone met to decide how they could remember the little
dog. The decision was made to save his tail and stick it up
behind the bar to remind everyone of the little dog's wagging
tail.
The little dog went up to heaven and was about to run through
the pearly gates when he was stopped by Saint Peter, who
questioned the little dog as to where he was going.
The little dog said "I have been a good dog - so I am going
into heaven where I belong!". Saint Peter replied "Heaven is
a place of perfection, you can not come into heaven without a
tail, where is your tail?"
The little dog explained the what had happened back on earth.
St Peter told the little dog that to enter Heaven he needed
to go back down to earth and get back his tail. The little
dog protested that it was now the middle of the night on earth,
but St Peter would not change his mind.
So the little dog went back down to earth and scratched on
the door of the pub until the bartender who lived upstairs
came down and opened the door.
"My goodness, it is the spirit of the little dog. What can I
do for you?" said the bartender. The little dog explained
that he wasn't allowed into heaven without his tail, and he
needed it back. The bartender replied "I would really like to
help you, but our liquor license doesn't allow me to retail
spirits after hours!"
