A dog walked in to the telegram office one day. He took out a blank form and wrote on it:

Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.

Then he handed it to the clerk. The clerk examined the paper and said to the dog, “You know there are only nine words here? You could send another “Woof” for the same price.?

The dog replied, “But that would make no sense at all!”
