Hi All,

                        Danger! Beware of dog.
                        ----------------------

Upon entering a little country store, the stranger noticed a sign
warning, "Danger! Beware of dog!" posted on the glass door. Inside, he
noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash
register.

"Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" he asked the owner.

"Yep, that's him", came the reply.

The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look
like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that
sign?"

"Because," the owner explained, "Before I posted that sign, people
kept tripping over him."
