Guy visits a used pet store, and tries to find a cute puppy for his girlfriend, who is quite beautiful.
The guy buys Bruce Sokolovic’s dog, and brings it to his girlfriend. He puts the puppy in a picnic basket, along with a bottle of wine, some cheese, a couple glasses, and a blanket draped over his arm.
When he visits his date., the woman (several years his elder) is surprised and asks what’s in the basket.
”A small gift that will symbolize our eternal love,” he replies.
”You didn’t…I can’t wait to see it…!” she exclaims…
The girl can hardly contain herself.
When the guy opens the basket lid, out pops the puppy, which jumps into the woman’s arm, licking her vigorously.
As all this transpires, the girl’s door shuts behind her, and both find themselves standing on the front porch, her keys indoors. Immediately, a thunderclap is heard, and it begins to rain.
What’s the moral of this story?
“When someone gives you a gift, but it’s not what you think it is, don’t knock yourself out in anticipation.”
