Dog Ate Owners G-String
A German vet who operated on a dog to remove a suspected stomach
tumor found a g-string instead.
The head of the Troisdorf animal rescue home, said bull terrier Breiti was
handed in after his previous owners complained he ate "anything that wasn't
nailed down".
She said: "He's a lovely dog and we had already found him a new home when
he stopped eating, and the vet noticed a hard lump in his stomach."
After giving 10-year-old dog an ultrasound examination, the vet concluded he
had stomach cancer and operated immediately to remove the 'tumor'.
But when the pet was cut open the vet found the cancer was actually an undigested g-string the dog had stolen
from his last owners.
The Troisdorf worker said: "Bull terriers tend to have fetishes. Some like
shoes, but with Breiti, it's lacy lingerie. Each to his own."
Yearly Physical
An older man goes in for his yearly physical, with his wife tagging along.
When the doctor enters the examination room he says, "I will need a urine sample, a stool sample, and a sperm sample."
The old man, being hard of hearing, turns to h! is wife and asks, "What did he say?"
The wife yells back to him, "GIVE HIM YOUR UNDERWEAR."
