Karate Guard Dog
Sam and George owned a store in the outskirts of San Francisco. It had been
burglarized several times in the past year and Sam decided to buy a guard dog.
Shopping for one, Sam found himself in Chinatown, at a pet store whose sign
boasted, The Best Guard Dogs That Money Will Buy. He entered the store, but
much to his disappointment, all the dogs he could see were Pekingese.
"Excuse me," Sam said to the manager, "but the sign outside says you sell guard
dogs. Where are they?"
The manager, an elderly Chinese, replied, "Oh, but these are highly trained
guard dogs. They all know karate."
"Karate! No way."
"I'll show you," said the shop owner.
He took one of the Pekingese out to the backyard and put it in front of a brick.
The dog stood absolutely still. The shopkeeper gave a command, "Karate! Brick!"
And with complete astonishment, Sam saw the little dog perform a perfect
karate chop, splitting the brick in half. Totally amazed, he bought the dog.
Back at his own store, he showed the Pekingese guard dog to George,
who thought he was completely mad and told him to return the Pekingese
immediately.

"But, he is a trained guard dog!"
"Yeah, sure!"
Sam put the Pekingese on the floor and said, "He knows karate!!"
With a sneer George retorted, "Karate! My foot!"
Poor George. It's a good thing he didn't say "Karate my ass."
