Communication Funnies
A man takes his large dog to the vet.
“My dog is cross-eyed. Is there anything you can do for him?”
“Well,” says the vet. “Let’s have a look at him.” The vet picks up the dog, examines the dog’s eyes and ears, and checks his teeth. Finally he said, “I’m going to have to put him down.”
Astonished, the man nearly shouted, “What??!! Why? Because he’s cross-eyed?”
“No,” said the vet. “Because he is really heavy!”
It wasn’t what the vet said, it’s what the dog’s owner thought he heard.
