Three relatively old dogs, a Poodle, a German Shepherd and a Great Dane,
are sitting in the waiting room of a vets office.  The shepherd asks the
poodle why he's here.  "Well," the poodle replies, "I'm 17 years old. I
don't see or hear very well, and I've been having accidents in the house.
My owner says I'm too old and sick so I'm here to be put to sleep."
    "That's too bad," replies the shepherd.  "I used to be a police dog,
but I'm too old for that, and nobody will adopt me because they don't
trust me around children!  So, I'm going to be put to sleep too."
    They both turn to the great dane, expectantly.  "I'm...", the dane
starts, hesitantly, "well, I've always been a bit high-strung.  My owner
is a beautiful model, and yesterday she was walking around the apartment
naked, and, well, she bent over to pick something up.  I... I couldn't
resist next thing I knew, I was on top of her."
    "And you're here to be put to sleep, too?"
    "No.  I'm here to get my nails clipped."
