I saw a hound dog walk into a tavern, where he ordered a beer. Bartender served the hound dog, saying "that's two dollars, sir." Hound dog paid, and sat quietly, drinking. Bartender stared. Finally, unable to overcome his curiosity, Bartender walked over, said:

"You don't see too many hound dogs in the bars, these days."

Hound dog: "At these prices, you ain't going to see any more!"
