Nobody Did It

A lost dog gets the last laugh

NOBODY DID IT

            I once owned three dogs, named Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.  Well, Nobody ran off, so I put Somebody and Anybody into the car and went searching for him.  About a block away I saw Nobody, so I stopped, got out and called loudly, "Nobody! Here Nobody!”  A passing police cruiser pulled over and a kindly officer asked, “Who are you calling, son?”

            “Nobody, sir.” I replied honestly.

“Now, I heard you yell. You had to be calling for somebody, boy.”

 

“No, officer, Somebody is in the car.”

 

            The officer stopped smiling, and--squinting towards my car--said in a gruff

 

voice, “There’s not anybody in that car, kid.”

 

“Not Anybody in the car?! Are you blind? His head is sticking out the window and his tongue is hanging down longer than one of Tarzan‘s vines.”

“OK, sonny boy, I see how it is…you’re a nut case! I think you need to get into my car for a little ride downtown.”

“Uh, officer, Nobody is behind you.”

 

“I know!” he shouted.

 

“But, if you try to arrest me, Nobody will bite your bottom.”

 

“You’ve got that right, nobody’s going to bite my bottom!”

And Nobody did.
