A young boy,
about eight years old, was at the corner
"Mom & Pop" grocery store picking out a
pretty good size box of laundry
detergent. The grocer walked over and,
trying to be friendly, asked the boy if
he had a lot of laundry to do.
"Oh, no laundry," the boy said. "I'm
going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your
dog. It's very powerful and if you wash
your dog in this, he'll get sick. In
fact, it might even kill him."
But the boy was not to be stopped and
carried the detergent to the counter and
paid for it, even as the grocer still
tried to talk him out of washing his
dog.
About a week later the boy was back in
the store to buy some candy. The grocer
asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an
I-told-you-so, said he was sorry the dog
died but added, "I tried to tell you not
to use that detergent on your dog."
"Well," the boy replied, "I don't think
it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh? What was it then?" asked the
grocer, curiously.
The boy replied, "I think it was the
spin cycle in the washing machine...!"
