My only story involving hunting dogs is much less serious. I worked at a manufacturing plant in a county that allowed deer hunting with dogs. I need to say that sometimes I would say something stupid just get a rise out of people and see if they knew I was kidding or if they really thought that I was an idiot.* Someone had put a hand-lettered ad on on of the bulletin boards:
ALUMINUM DOG BOX FOR SALE.
A number of my co-workers were standing around when I announced: "That's a good price, but I ain't got an ALUMINUM DOG."
I honestly don't know if some of those folks ever realized that I was trying to be funny.
*At the time, it did not occur to me that some people might indeed know that I was joking, yet still consider me to be an idiot.
