A guy goes into a bar with a dog and informs the bartender that his dog can talk.
"Your joking, right?", says the barkeep,"Are you trying to tell me your dog can speak English?"
"That's right", replied the customer.
So the bartender makes the guy a bet that if the dog can talk, the guy can drink all night for free. If not, the bartender will throw the guy and his dog out the door and ban them from the premises forever.
So the guy takes the bet, turns to his dog and says,"What is the texture of sandpaper?" to which the dog replies,"Rough".
"No way!", protests the bartender,"That's not speaking, that's barking."
"Okay, okay, how about this." And turning to the dog the man asks,"What's on top of a house?" "Roof", replies the dog.
"That's it",shouts the bartender,"I'll give you one more chance and if that dog doesn't speak, you're outta here"
"Alright, let me think,"says the man. After a moment he turns to his dog and asks,"Who is the greatest baseball player of all time?" And the dog replies,"Ruth"
"Okay, I've had it", responds the angry bartender and rolling up his sleeves he precedes to, one by one, violently throw the man and his dog out the door.
Shortly after,as the bruised man is sitting on the curb, head in hands, feeling totally dejected, his dog turns to him and says,"DiMaggio??"
