This fundamentalist Christian couple felt it important to own an
equally fundamentally Christian pet. So, they went shopping. At
a kennel specializing in this particular breed, they found a dog
they liked quite a lot. When they asked the dog to fetch the
Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up
Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with
dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went
home (piously, of course).
That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their
new fundamentalist dog and his major skills, they called the dog
and showed off a little. The friends were impressed, and asked
whether the dog was able to do any of the usual dog tricks, as
well.
This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn't thought about
"normal" tricks. Well, they said, "Let's try this out." Once
more they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the
command, "Heel!" Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw
on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and
bowed his head.
