* this dog gets his foot shot of in a saloon brawl, and it is kept in a trophy case behind the bar. When the dog gets to doggie heaven St Peter won't let him in incomplete.
The dog's ghost returns to the saloon goes up to the barman and says...
"I've come for my paw!"

*Meanwhile his friend had had his tail shot of in the same brawl, and it's in the same display case. St Peter tells him he must return complete on the same day to get in. So as it's nearly midnight he hurries to the bar to request his tail.
The barman apologises, but says he can't help. The dog's ghost is really upset and says:
"But you gave my friend his paw, why can't I get my tail ?"
"Sorry," says the barman, "It's almost midnight, and I'm not allowed to retail spirits after 11.pm"

Cheers
