A Dogfight
Uncle Sam and Osama decided to settle the whole war with a dogfight. They would each have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog and whoevers dog won would dominate the world. Osama found the meanest Doberman breed in the world and bred them with the meanest wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog ever. When the day came for the big dogfight, Uncle Sam showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9-foot long Dachshund. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage and slowly waddled over toward Osamas dog. Osamas dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American dog--but when it got close to the American dog, the Dachshund opened its mouth and ate Osamas dog whole. Osama said, We dont understand how this could have happened, we had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest dogs and the meanest wolves. Uncle Sam said, Thats nothing, we had our best plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a weenie dog.
