Subject: An avid duck hunter



An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird
dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could
actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by
his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever
believe him.

He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his,
a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him
and his new dog.

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by.
they fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and
jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink
but instead walked across the water to retrieve the
bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This
continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog
walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.

The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but
did not say a single word.

On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you
notice anything unusual about my new dog?"

"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."
