PP Ray’s Ramblings: Note: Someone gave PP Ray a Jokebook so he won’t run out of humor.
A man on his way to a pub spotted a large dog with a man near him. He asked the man if his dog bites and the man said no. The dog bit the pub-going man and he yelled to the man with the dog “I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite” to which the other man replied “My dog doesn’t’ bite but this isn’t my dog.”
